I was washing the wifey's care when I noticed a puncture in the driver's side strut-tower brace. The other side does not have such a hole. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, JP    |

Obviously a predrilled outlet .......... guessing maybe for adjusting along side alignment.

Is this normal? The car had its first alignment a few months ago, I watched the guy do it and I didn't see him drilling anything.

That is the factory alignment pin. If you need to change the camber setting that pin has to be broken off. So yes it's normal.

 ........... if you go as far as to install race springs on the car then the only way to further adjust the camber is to dremmel that same hole for more room.
