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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vdjmsthsw9...tleft.jpg?dl=0 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: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kf7vkeyfxu...right.jpg?dl=0 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.
