182 Request....(Pics of underbonnet)

[Dave]

Was wiping the sh*t in the engine bay earlier after giving mine a clean and notice the suspension strut mount thingys looked a little odd to me.

Might be normal and probably is but are they meant to kinda angle inward to the centre of the car?

Can anyone take pics (no digi cam)

the black round bits that are on top of the suspension?

 

[Rich]

Any Help?

Right thanks for that R-Jay now looking at my strut bit the black bit doesnt sit flush on the paintwork but is tilted and the centre piece appears to lean into the engine at an angle on both sides of the car. Meant to be like that?

 

[Liam]

would have thought the above looks right.

Ok now im worried.

Could this be a cup pack / non cup pack difference?

 

[182_blue]

does it not change position depending on how you parked it up ??

 

[182_blue]

look at the images on the parkers link, on one the struts appear to lean towards the engine, and on the other they appear to point away??

 

[Dave]

I will inevstigate it when I can next be arsed!!! ha ha

 

[Lagerlout]

Are your wheels straight??

 

[DaveLiquid182]

As a couple of the lads said "are your wheels straight"

If the wheels are not straight the strut tops will tilt.

Hope that puts your mind at rest.
