Installing Rear Struts on a 1980 Corvette
Three questions:
1) Can anyone tell me how to identify the outboard end of a strut?
2) Are bushing caps neccessary with poly urethane bushings?
3) There is an enormous amount of play on each side of the upper strut after inserting the camber bolt. Is this normal?

2)Yes
3)No, That what the reducing washers(bushing caps) are for.
