The front struts weren't aligned if that makes sense it has adjustable camber at the top instead of being horizontal so they can be adjusted left and right they were both diagonal so had to remove them off the car and turn them and refit them so they were both horizontal at the top dunno if that's makes any sense ha

Well today's addition was some mudflaps hoping it will save the car getting a further battering from stonechips and maybe stay a bit cleaner they fought me all the way bit dissappointed with scoobyworld tbh as they didn't come with any nuts and one of the capture nuts broke so that took me a hour to sort but got there in the end lol

Uhmmm fitting them diagonally is a popular way of allowing you to adjust both camber and castor. It's not incorrect, depending on your setup it may be the best way to do it
