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. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
