Strut Mount Position

[TurboDrive]

Hello Folks. Could anyone tell me in which direction should the front strut mount be facing i.e. in what direction should the side with the notch be facing. Thanks

I want to say that that notch faces the inside of the engine bay, so the two notches would face eachother...................I know that's where the little rubber tabs go anyways.

Thanks . Is that the correct stock position?

welcome turbodrive, i see you made it over from 323gtx.co.uk/pn

I think this may help you as well

If it has the rubber tabs, then I am 100% certain on what I said to you, and yes, it is the factory position.

Thanks a whole lot. You guys are the best . bpt323 where did you find that diagram? I knew I saw it some where before I just cant remember where. OH and the best way to get answers is to ask everywhere.

what exactly does 14' or 29' mean? its not degrees... is it hundredths of a degree??

would 14' of +camber be worth the 14' change in caster?? we must lose SOME camber when we lower the car... i know you are a big fan of the caster ryan, but i forget if it was positive or negative.

Thanks a whole bunch. I was changing the front struts and I replaced them inthe wrong position. I had a nagging feeling that I did the wrong thing. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Where can I get my hands in that PDF? Is it available for download?

That measurement is in "minutes". It's another way of measuring less than 1 degree...60 minutes = 1 degree. So in this case, 29 minutes is about 1/3 of a degree, and 14 minutes is about 1/4 degree.

The position doesn't really matter. Eitherway you will need to have an alignment done on it to set it were it needs to be for your car!
