Rear strut spring cap orientation
Hi there,
I just installed complete new rear struts on my gti, but I am having doubts about the spring caps. The reason is that they have a cutout on one side (in the area where the spring rests) and I am not sure if that side should be pointing towards the wheel or towards the car. Actually it's more like pointing forward-and-out or backward-and-in.
It's been almost six months since I took the old struts off, so I can't recall how they were attached originally.

Even VW wasn't able to tell me more about this issue. Hate it when that happens.
