In the video, the shock absorber mount rotates; after assembly, its position can be adjusted to align with the holes on the body. The spring cover is similar; it doesn't have a fixed position. The key is to install the rubber spring support correctly-its shape will guide you on how to position it.
@autodocuk thanks for your reply, yes I see the polyester cover that sits on the spring guides you how it should be installed, I was just checking I think my issue is related to another suspension part as I installed my shocks just as in the video. Thank you
Thanks for this :)
Is there a specific position that the spring cap should sit?
Thanks for your comment! You can find this information in the technical documentation for repairing your car.
@autodocuk I tried can't get hold of the information
