Top hat orientation
 
I fitted KWv1 coilovers a couple of months ago and obviously wasn't paying enough attention as I've realised I have one or other top mount in wrong.

These are actually "TRD uprated mounts"; I'm not sure what they are exactly as I can't find any reference to them anywhere other than Fensport in the UK who sell them, but I assume they're the same as OEM with some harder rubber.

Here's the wrong (left) one:

The white mark presumably is meant to go either front or rear, and the two "nipples" (if that's the right word) don't line up with anything.

And what I assume is the right (right) one:

But that doesn't have a mark.

The question is does it matter? They don't appear to be offset and obviously aren't adjustable, but I guess the rubber could be different in different directions. Is it worth the effort to turn one round, and which one is wrong?

Thanks.

If the alignment is good for the car drives straight, why bother changing anything? I believe oe is symmetric.

No it does not matter.
