Fitting Lift Blocks on fron Struts.

Post by Gazza01 » Sat Sep 06, 2014 12:46 pm

Can anyone tell me from the attached Photos whether this is the correct fitting postions for the blocks on top of the FRONT Struts on my 92 Brumby.

Hard to tell but it looks right, easy way to tell is the mounting points for the strut on the lower plate must be closer to the engine than the studs up top. Basically positioning the top of the strut further inside the guard.

Like what Silverbullet has said.

Another way to look at it is when you have the blocks on a flat surface the bases should be closer to each other than the tops - then just orientate this to the vehicle in terms of where the front is.

Usually there's a marking to indicate which way to the engine; I know my L's strut tops have this...
