Logo face up. Doesn't really matter where the logo is at so long as the springs are fully seated, especially in the front strut bodies.

When you put your front struts back together make sure the tab on the top hat is pointed in toward the engine on both sides or it will not ride right.

Yeah, on the top mount there is like a little square tab on the side. You needed to make sure that square tab faces the engine or they don't seat properly and make noises

I think you would be fine for awhile. Worst case scenerio is your gunna hit a bump and the other 2 bolts brake and the driver side of the car is gunna get slammed on the wheel and the strut assymbly through the fender well.

It wouldn't kill you, but ruin the front end pretty good.

How many miles on the car? How old? Manufactor Warrenty?

Put the stock springs back on and take it back up. They will replace it and Have to re-allign it, then put the springs back on.

Getting it realligned is like 40, so that would save you like $10.
