cusco top mounts
Right this is really odd, When I use standard top mounts the front wheel camber angles are within a quarter of a degree side to side but when I fitted some (used) cusco adjustable top mounts (with the same struts) there needs to be a huge difference in the adjusters to get them equal, like one has to be full negative and the other has to just about full positive, this gets just on 2.75 degrees each side but with no room for adjustment. Is it possible to assemble the mounts incorrectly ? I'm stumped Banging head

it is possible to swich the topmounts.. but if you get it wrong (say putting left top mount onto right strut and vice versa) you cannot mach the 3 bolts with the 3 holes in the chassis. this is for stock mounts, dont know how it is for your mounts.

Same for these mounts but they have a sliding arrangement that allows for adjustment, I suspect the sliding parts are wrong..... anyone confirm that this is possible ?

+1 Take some pictures.

You could have the adjustment slide on the one that is maxed outwards (for the most + camber avail) flipped backwards and that is why you have no adjustment left... I think its possible.


I have t3 plates and can flip the center section 180 degrees if I'm trying to reach a certian adjustment range.
