Default Front eccentric caster/camber install

Hey guys,

I installed the eccentric bolts on the front passenger side, getting ready to do the driver's. On both the bolts the only way I could get them installed was to have the flat side of both washers pointing in opposite directions. So when looking at the head of the bolt it would be like D, while the nut side would have the flat spot pointing to the right. I am hoping that is just a 0* position and the alignment shop will adjust it as needed. Any thought s?

Also, if anyone has installed the kyb shocks, did any one notice that the rubber grommet on the top doesn't compress as far as the stock shock? Is that OK? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks a lot for the help.

That does help, thank you. Any thoughts on having the eccentric washers opposite?

It's my understanding that they must match the same direction between the front and back washer to allow an even adjustment. But don't take my word for it. My mechanic did the install, so I have no clue if that has any different effect. Find an indie shop that has done 4-wheel laser alignments and they will know how to do the right adjustments.
