ok so i got tein basic dampers and tein pillow ball mounts for my 91 240 fastback. i got the suspension installed at a shop. car is done, my question is say your standing infront of the car. There are those 4 little bolts for the camber adjustment on the pillow ball mount, when your standing in front of the car are 2 of those bolts supposed to be on top and 2 on bottom, like 12oclock and 6oclock because they are more on an angle, like 10oclock and 5oclock, like the top hat was put in the wrong way, what do you guys think....thankx

are you saying they put one 2 of the adjustment bolts on the bottom?

These should be sliding from left to right from drivers perspective...

Ill see if I can get a pic of them installed on a car for you today, but im sure someone will post them before I get to that...

ok so say in your picture, if they were installed just like that and ur standing in front of the car the bolts are on the left and right. on mine the right one is turned clockwise a little bit and the left is turn counterclockwise a little bit, i told the guy it looks weird and he said thats the way it fits... isnt it the same dimensions around. so he could have installed it crooked...

Remove upper strut mounting nuts. Jack up car, twist upper mount to correct setting, lower, install nuts. 45 seconds.
