Default H-tech install question regarding top seat alignment

I installed H-techs over the weekend on some KYB's. My ride is smooth and good going over small bumps, but once I hit a large speed bump I get a bit of loud squeak.

When installing them I wasn't sure if the top seat should face left or right.

The part I'm talking about is #17 in this diagram.

http://www.trademotion.com/parts/200...iagram=8560170 It has a raised ridge on one side. How am I supposed to line this back up?

Thanks---

Can someone please offer some advice? I realize this install is a pretty common one and someone has to know how to align the top spring perch??

I haven't done this, but I think I might have something for you. Can you PM me your email so I can send a pdf attachment? I have instructions which should show how to align it.

I think there's a notch that points has an arrow pointing to the "OUT" of the car. Also, there is a notch that lines up with the piston of the strut as well.

And the coil should sit perfectly as well and align correctly. So pretty much 98% foolproof to mess up the mount during install.
