i removed these from a set of e30 325i struts and noticed they are offset and multi holes for adjustment [ presumably ? ]

shouldn't they have studs or is something missing like an adjustable type top part with measurements on ?

they are BMW items and the only numbers i can find are 1139 485 .

cheers for any help :D

Camber correction top mounts.

I've just fitted a set to mine to increase negative camber at the front. Mine have a slightly different part number though; 1139 484 and offer +/- 30min of camber correction. Possible you have misread the part number or maybe they have a slightly different part number because they offer more or less camber than mine?

Three studs are missing. The mounts are not supplied with these so buy new or reuse your old ones. You fit the studs to the three holes that give the correction you desire.

I've heard them referred to as 'M3 Evo eccentric top mounts', so presumably they were fitted as standard to these models. Prior to that they were listed as a correction device for accident damaged cars I believe.
