as above, I think I have the front top mounts fitted the correct way, or is it wrong please?

thanks

They look fine.
You jut have to check the alignment for around 1º of camber to keep it nice on the the fast bits.

I have had a geo setup with camber etc done, and when looking at the top mounts, one side is in a different place compared to the other, so the driver side camber top mount is on the 0 (centre) mark, and the passenger side is on + 1 or 2 marks away from 0

is this normal?, or should both sides be set at the same position on the top mount?

thanks

p.s the drivers side coilover height is about 1cm (from what i can remember) longer/higher compared to the passenger side, but the car site with an even gap between the wheel centre and arch.
when both the front coilovers were the same length, the drivers side sat lower compared to the passenger side, so thats why I increased the height of the drivers shock

would this be a reason to the different amounts of camber on the top mounts?

thanks

this is what I mean
I am guessing the top mounts are the correct way around as both the flat side of the strut are on the inside


drivers side


passenger side

That doesn't seem to be correct, even if the geometry is ok.
You have like that because where the strut bolts to the hub has an adjustment bolt, and probably that's why the geometry is correct.
You probably have one side with the hub bolt on a more neutral position (drivers), and on the other it's giving the camber.

Not that it matters, your drivers side top hat is bolted the other way round. As you can see the marker on the top of the strut is not facing the scale. But again, this is just a minor detail.

I noticed that about the marker on the top mount s well, but if I have it with the marker the correct way around, then the flat side of the top mount will face the other way

No, if you remove the strut, because it's a pillow ball top, it will move freely and you could point it the way you like. But that's just a minor detail.

I also noticed the marks that they put into the top mounts from probley where they adjusted them.

What would you recommended I do, if I need to do anything please ?
