can someone take and post a pic of the strut mount especially showing the white dot's location in relation to the engine. apparently, some dealer dissassembled the strut mount and reinstalled it in the wrong direction without my knowledge and approval causing me continual alignment problems. thanks in advance.

Thanks alot to both!

Hey Foxy, what problems did you encounter with the misplacement of the strut mount?

The alignment is off on mine for sure and the steering feels numb and imprecise compared to the tight and good on center feel when it just had an alignment done.

Does anyone else know what problems this may cause?

Wow, I had no idea they had to go back in a certain way. Does anybody have a picture of how a 1st gen should look or might it be the same as a 3rd gen? Each of mine are in a different position.

obviously your camber was set wrong and needed to be fixed, but improper caster will not wear out tires. camber and toe are the only tire wearing alignment adjustments. camber is just very annoying.
