correct suspension installation

[jamesgalant]

WHen going back to stock springs...i forgot which way the mounts sat ontop of the front struts?? you know how the strut is slanted...after setting the spring...does the mount sit parallel to the strut or against it???? i review the HOW TO forum and saw a picture of the strut and spring and mount assembled but the mount wasnt parallel to the strut slan... sorry i dont have any pics or images to explain what im talking about but if ya do please correct me if im wrong...thanks

i think parallel, i could be wrong though.
also make sure you cut your bump stops.

you are going to need an alignment anyways.
So just do what you think makes the camber proper.
then take it to get aligned. If your orientation of the upper mount is off, they will correct it then.
