What points where ?
Discussion
Hi, still stuck on this and desperate for anyone's help. I've fitted new struts, bearings, bumps and top mountsbut getting a strange sort of pop sound from the front n/s. New drop links and ball joints also fitted. So I've come to the conclusion and reading up on similar that I've notligned up the top mount and bearing. The question is how or what direction do they face ?
This is my old mount and bearing
My Haynes is of no use. The bearing has a small bobble and the top mounts have no arrows, just two rubble bobbly bits sticking out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Jim

As I said, it should only go in one way due to the hole spacing (they are not in the shape of an equilateral triangle) so see which way the holes line up & that will be the only way it should fit.
Sorry, I have just realised (I think) you are asking also about the alignment of the 2 parts to each other.I assume they align both "bobbles" together, can't you tell from the old ones?
Try lubricating the spring & the areas of contact where it seats.

I'm not sure I'm being too clear on what I am saying as not good at this. Basically the top bearing on mine has an allignment bit sticking out. I'm told if this is not lined up then it will cause issues. For instance the mustang has the following ( see photo )
If I'm to follow this set up I'm to line it up with the bit tha slots into the lower knuckle. I hope that make sense.
