I went to have a professional alignment for my celi after installing
tein stechs and struts and my question is , is the struts top mount have a specific side to install on the car? My left side does not align because had more negative cumber that it should. Thank you in advance |

theres supposedly a direction the top hat is meant to point out but I've seen oem and some aftermarket top mounts without an arrow so you would have to mark it before you removed it the first time.

There are 3 ways it can go try all 3 just turn it one rotation at a time and it should be right. This is how I had to do mine when my car was pulling to the left and when I changed the strut the spring and top was off(turned not angled properly). I got lucky on first try went perfect. I eyeballed the other strut from the front, taking in consideration for the angle of the mounting area. This is after you are sure spring is set properly of course in the suspect strut.

Thanks that I was thinking to do since my struts and springs was installed I had never aligned my car. My top plate I am sure that is installed correctly and my spring also so this might be the problem that I was thinking that might be although it doesn't seem to have direction but I think I will try this. |
