I have taken the front suspension apart on my 1999 996 C4 Convertible. When installing a new strut I am not sure of the correct alignment of the top mount with regard to the other strut components so that the camber (I think that is it) is correct. My new top mount each have arrow on them and I assume that they should be pointed to the front of the car. I have checked through the manual and a few other sources but cannot find any help to ensure that the fitting is correct.

Of course, after also refreshing the rear suspension, I will be immediately taking it to Munk's Motors for a full alignment. I would like to get it somewhat close.

Any help or suggestions for this issue?

Thanks

BTW, Where did this come from?

Thanks for the help. Looks like I have them complete. The top bolts are tight and I will check the torque when I install them.

Thanks again.

Make sure that you attach the rubber bellows to the bump stop. The lower ridge on the bump stop sits in the corresponding channel(?) of the bellows.
