[Mk2] [Generic] which direction should the front top mounts face??

[C50]

the curved side was facing towards the rear direction of my car

but on the other side it was facing towards the front??


or are they bouth wrong... should they facing out like the suspension cups

[JohnnyC]

Curved part should face the rear on both sides.

thanks


i wonder is there a reason for this curved side.. ?!

If you look carefully the bearing in the mount is offset in relation to the mounting studs...if you get it fitted the wrong way around it changes the CASTER of your suspension. So it is important to get it the right way round.

Cool, i just put a steel rule across the studs of my TRD mount. The bearing is very slightly (about a mm ) towards the straight side
