Happy Thanksgiving,

real quick

is this normal for the strut towers to look like, the driver side mounting bolts are offset compared to the passenger side

Driver side

Passenger side

The other question i have is, shouldn't the bottom of the windshield trim piece have the plastic fasteners in the center of the plugs shown?


thanks

You’re talking about the round plastic rivets? Mine have the little pin in the middle and it looks like yours do as well, at least in your two on the right.


Regarding the strut tower, I don’t see that being a problem provided your alignment appears to be okay, that’s why they provide a bit of wiggle room from the factory. Mine are the same on both sides and they are roughly centered.

Yes the rivers, mine has none. There are water droplets,

no rivets needed, there are little arrows on the plugs showing they are locked in place, the inside is hexagonal for an allen key to turn. feel a bit slliy about. as far as the strut mounts, they are not the same , one side has the locator pin showing, the other side does not. the wheels seem to sit ok.

Looks like your location pin is missing. Did you have camber adjustment done on the front?
They probably got rid of the pin and hogged out the mounting bolt holes.

I got it like that. Recent purchase.

You might want to have an alignment done to check if everything is dialed in.

If you DIY you can do it yourself to relocate the guide pin.
Both of them look not positioned.
It almost appears there isn't as many threads showing as mine on the mount bolts.

I'll probably have it aligned. It's not loose btw
