    Need help on strut assembly

    I cant figure out which way the bearing and spacer go. First up is the bearing. Which way faces up:



    or




    Finally does this go above it or below it?



    This is how I think it goes but I am not sure.

    I think I got it right. Spring seat, then spacer, then bearing facing up like the first picture.

    It is supposed to go from bottom to top:

    coilover spring, coilover spring hat, camber plate adjuster, camber plate.
