00 1.8i Rear Strut Mounting - pawd
Hi folks,

I'm renewing the shocks all round on my mondeo -got the rears done today. Just one thing I'm bit unsure of; I've reconnected the arms and tie bar etc. and I've noticed that the strut sits to one side of the bump stop seating area and not in the centre. And it's the same on the other side. When the arms are refitted they obviously pull the knuckle and strut into some kind of alignment .. so I'm kinda trusting that! I've never done this before so any advice would be welcomed. Front ones are next along with the wishbones.

On a different topic, I need to have my front seat welded cause it's broken at the joint. But there's an airbag module just above where it needs to be welded. Would this be dangerous?

Thank you for your help guys. Looking forward to your replies.
