Hey

I installed Maxspeed's with Tokico HP's today and was looking over the FSM again tonight. I noticed something that concerned me.

According to the FSM, there is a specific way the strut should have been installed so that the spring sits on the perch a certain way. If you look at the diagram below, the red arrow points to where my driver side rear spring meets the strut perch and where Nissan states it should be. My passenger side matches the FSM correctly.

Is this an issue?



I had thought the rear top hats as well as the struts were universal, not like the fronts, but now I am wondering.

Any assistance would be great. If it's wrong, I'll just drop it out and twist it so the strut is turned a complete 180 degree.

Oddly enough, my left rear toe is 0.10 degrees and my right rear is -0.25 degrees. So the incorrect one according to FSM is within given range for toe and the correct one is out of range. Argh!
