i have those in...but that thing isnt pointing in the "OUT" direction...does that matter any? i get off work/duty in a couple hours...and i check everything out then. if pointing out doesnt matter, maybe the strut nut needs to be tightened or something.

If "out" points in I think you should heed the "out" directive and make it right asap.

(but I don't know this stuff, except to know that lables like that are basic and usually -very important- to assembly safety or function.

it makes the springs sit correctly and reduce any possible problems.

i pointed everything in the right direction today and everything is nice and good...no more rubbing. it looked like the spring was rubbing against the body inside the wheelwell. while i was at it, i installed my K&N typhoon intake system since it was a lot easier to do without the strut bar on.
