Ve front Strut top plate alignment

[redalloytec]

Hi guys,

Just wondering which way the the top plate of the front struts are supposed to align with the rest of the body.
From what ive read the little 'w' shaped notch is supposed to line up with swap bar link bracket, which results in both the top plate and bottom plate sloping in the same direction.
But from what ive seen the 'w' shaped notch is orientated on the opposite side of the sway bar bracket resulting in both plates sloping in different directions.

If someone could shed some light on this i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Old thread I know but does anyone have more info on how these strut plates are meant to align with regards to the "W" notch?

As long it's in that general direction right? Like it's not going to be exact every time and I'm guessing a few degrees here or there won't matter.
