![]() I think you will find that when in place and therefore under some compression, the angles will change anyway.

![]() Make sure the bottom one leaves the drain holes clear on the arm.

Here's the top of the upper arm with the isolator pushed into the locating socket and lined up with the drain holes. ![]() Now, without changing anything, here's the arm turned over to show the bottom side. The two locking lugs on the isolator are at 10 past 6 - is this fully locked into position, or should the lugs be at 6 o'clock to be fully locked? (the drain holes won't line up if it's at 6 o'clock ![]() ![]() |

![]() I have a feeling that if you revolve the spring 180 degrees it will sit differently.
I think the rubber is correctly positioned. macafee2 |

![]() The spring isn't there though in these pics. Do you mean rotate the isolator 180 degrees so that the part number (RKB101290) is on the left instead of the right?
