I have a Mazda MPV 1994 6.0 cyl I bought the mounting strut but the only mark it has is a curve cut in it. I want to know the orientation of that mark. I have a book from Mazda and it says:"Install the strut assembly in the strut lower, making sure the white mark on the upper mounting block is in the front-inside direction". My question is...the mount doesn't have any white mark..so I'm not sure the curve in strut mount goes to outside, inside the vehicle. Please help
