top mounts

s.mac · 30-01-2012, 07:36 PM

I saw this picture and wasn't sure if it was correct?

mine were installed this way, as veiwed from the side of the car

??????

does this thread make sense?

the top mount may have been the other way (i.e 180 degrees to what it is now) but the big bolt in the middle moved side to side, not back to front like the one in the top picture.

Your top mounts are just camber steve. If they where mounted the other way you would only have the 1* of camber adjustment like the standard can.

And yes you should be able to fit castor camber topmounts, but I would'nt bother.

My KW clubsport was camber only and I was quick enough on them. Put the money towards your tango funds

They Look like AST top mounts and the first pic is correct, and as said they are Camber only adjusters, i supply loads of these no issues

If your going to do anything to them Change the adjuster bolts for ones with larger Allen heads as they round off fairly easily.

trackm3, if you sell them which orientation should the triangular bit go?

thickest part inwards towards the engine ? as it is in the picture or the other way round? or doesn't it really matter...
