Blue84Hatch Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I installed new strut tops quite a while back on my EA81 hatch. I was just wondering if that little arrow by the 4WD stamp should be facing the front of the vehicle or the firewall?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue84Hatch Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 yea thats what I thought. Thats how I have them installed. I was mainly wondering because the lift kit I put on has some funny looking camber issues. I just wanted to rule that out as a problem. Also my engine is out of the car right now. I guess that could be contributing to the excessive camber to. It looks like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Your camber will look much better when you get the engine in and let the suspension settle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 also, on ea81's, I've beaten the snot out of the inner strut well area, and ground away at the strut lift block to slide it as close to the engine as I can I have 4" blocks, struts are adjusted all the way up, and I have RX springs (to counteract the weight of the bumper/winch) and my camber is near perfect.... I do have a lot of weight to settle it, but I still have 9" clearance under the skid plate low point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue84Hatch Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 wow impressive!! I will try try that once I test the lift how it is. I just bought some 29" SS TSLs and am waiting on rims. Yeaaa!!!! Thanks for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
