hey is it normal for the front top strut mount plate to move a bit in the VR6 if you're parked on an incline or if there are different loads on each wheel (ie, wheels turned, road not flat etc)

Asking because just noticed that while looking under the hood whilst car is parked diagonally on my inclined driveway that the front left and right strut mount plates are at different heights in relation to the strut towers on the body.

Is this normal and is just the rubber strut mounts compressing/flexing?

Depends on how much movement but yes they do move
if the mounts are gone obviously you will have alot more room for it to move around

ah ok i suppose they would eh, since there's just a rubber mount so thanks for confirming.

on another note, my washer bottle keeps draining it self after a week or 2.

There are no obvious leaks and it doesn't seem like the seal at the bottom where the pump is faulty either.

Any ideas?

Check for leaks where the bottle connects with the rubber hoses and between rubber hoses and plastic elbow connectors (I had similar problem with my Golf CL)
