original strut?
bar marking to the front
the plate holding spring? the sticky out metal tab points to the road

After doing my springs v.recently

There are 5 parts to the top mount
Spring cup -> top bearing -> large locking nut (feed stud up through car) -> then a cup -> final nut

The springs cup has a square notch in it
This notch MUST point inline with the swivel hub bolt section if this is wrong itll cause springs to boing everytime as they bow instead of compress
The top mounts (bearings) have arrows
These point to the rear of the vehicle
