It's best if they can be installed so that they are stress free in the 
neutral position. VW probably had a jig to hold them at the right 
angle so they would be correct once installed. You could install 
them now and just do the finish tightening after everything is in the 
car. Be sure to turn the boots so the seam points straight back.
