I learned that the strut mounts on top have white dots that have to be oriented a certain way for camber/caster to be right. I know the previous owner 10 or so years ago messed around with the suspension and I thought I pretty much reverted back to stock at least as far as ride height goes by having a shop replace the springs. That was maybe 9 years ago I guess. Now my front struts are worn out and one is leaking badly so I am trying to learn what it takes to replace them. So I went to look at the white dots. My driver side mount has the dot towards the driver door (rear left), but the passenger side mount has the dot to the front right. They are both on the side where the gap is the biggest, but I was expecting them to be the same, meaning the passenger side dot be on the right rear, mirrored from the driver side. If I replace the struts, should I rotate the mount? I need new tires and an alignment so I guess this would be the time to change it, but I'm really not sure. I can't find a good explanation (or one I understand) for the orientation. Can someone educate me a bit on this?
Thanks!
