caster adjustment

here are pics i took yesterday. some people have asked how do you adjust caster when the slots on hte mount go left right. it's because the slots for caster are built into the tower.

good pics, but I still don't understand. When you bolt the shock back up don't you have to put it through the center of the mount meaning the adjustment is lost?

when replacing struts only, you do not loose adjustment. only if you replace the strut mount, then you loose the adjustemnt. but what you can do is scribe around the strut mount with a marker or pencil. then when you reinstall the new strut mount, it will be real close.
