    Upper Strut Bearing.... Im lost

    So im doing the IE3's on my car and the upper strut bearings are shot so I got the offset strut bearings. What way are the supposed to be mounted?

    Stock vs. Offset



    I dont know if they are to be mounted in the "+" or "-" holes.... I know this is simple but i have thoroughly confused myself

          As you lower the suspension more camber is going to be created. The point of these is to add to stock, and remove from dropped cars. Install them and then let a shop align the car for you to the best settings.

            repack those bearings before you put them back on, you'll be glad you did...
