is it the bit that goes in the hub parallel to the rest of the strut? maybe machined offset so you can turn it in the hub to change castor/camber

its the bits thay go on the bottom were the bolt goes through which mine aint got like the ones in this pic. as im going to get top mounts but if these coilovers are missing bits i need no point in goin that way.

surely the cooilover is symetrical anyway? the top mount will make up for any twisting of the shock body in the hub? or am i thinking about this wrong?
