EA81 strut top question

Featured Replies

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??

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.

Your camber will look much better when you get the engine in and let the suspension settle.

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....
