Strut Positions

Hello, probably out of my depth here, but I trying to change a car which has incorrectly got double wish bone rear suspension to rear struts.

I have had some success but am struggling to work out the mounting positions, could some one give me some help with the following please:-

STRUT_CAR=0.081, 0.439, -0.026
STRUT_TYRE=0.05, -0.25, 0.011

I suspect the numbers given are the 3 dimensional coordinates for the mounting points but I don't know in which manor they relate to each other for example which is height, first, second or third number?

Many thanks.
Mike.

STRUT_CAR=left right, up down, forward backward
 
Also to be specific, STRUT_CAR is the center of the ball joint or bushing that the top of the strut pivots around. STRUT_TYRE is a point on the centerline of the strut (not where it bolts to the upright). Doesn't matter which point, it's fairly common for the imaginary line to point at the lower balljoint, allowing you to reuse WBTYRE_BOTTOM coordinates.
