Exact position of top mount bearing to the spring rubber

Post by formula1vauxhall »

Vauxhall Corsa B 1.2 16V 1999

Hello, need help :( :( :( :(

Currently changing front shocks, springs, top mount bush and top mount bearings. I have a question regarding the position of the top mount bearing; the bearing sits at an angle. Therefore what is the position of the top mount bearing in relation to the spring rubber?
There is an indicator mark sticking out on the rubber, does this align with the drain hole of the top mount bearing?
I have a Haynes manual but does not cover this and have also google'd but no luck.
The indication lump on the rubber must indicate something and also there’s a white line on the top bearing mount by the drain hole. Logic suggests that these must align up!
Any help on this matter 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Thanks
