Just to make sure the slotted inside and the hole towards outside on both sides?
I don't think that possible in less you have a bent shock.look what I've started, sorry!!! I'm still looking for a definitive answer. One of mine was installed one way and the other in the opposite way...
Dude I posted a picture, like I said they only work one way . Several other poster have already confirmed this !!!!!!!!!!Awesome! can anyone second this?!?!
The previous owner had some wonky things done service/parts wise down to the car. I know this because on one side mud is caked around the mounting plate in one direction and then the other side is the same I'm going to go with the slot facing out. I just went outside and took a look at how they fit and that looks most likely.They do not sit perfectly flush, I have wrench then down right?I don't think that possible in less you have a bent shock.
Never underestimate stupid!I don't think that possible in less you have a bent shock.
haha, thank you for all the support!There we
Glad you got it straightened out.
So what's next on the short list?
Yes and this.Dude I posted a picture, like I said they only work one way . Several other poster have already confirmed this !!!!!!!!!!
Next time you use a tap, you should ALWAYS use a penetrating oil (or any kind of oil for that matter) when doing threads. It is cutting and cleaning and the oil is used to cool and to clean while you cut.View attachment 2266905

Thank you for the advise, I used wd40 when cutting and I backed off quite often. What kind of anti seize do you recommend?Next time you use a tap, you should ALWAYS use a penetrating oil (or any kind of oil for that matter) when doing threads. It is cutting and cleaning and the oil is used to cool and to clean while you cut.
Also, even though you are in TX, it would be advisable to use anti-seize on threads like those, since you KNOW you will have to remove them again in a few years. It makes things much easier to deal with when you own a vehicle long-term.
I keep on hand the Permatex brand COPPER anti-seize. O'Reilly's carries it. Or Amazon.Thank you for the advise, I used wd40 when cutting and I backed off quite often. What kind of anti seize do you recommend?
Will add these two to my arsenal! Thank youI keep on hand the Permatex brand COPPER anti-seize. O'Reilly's carries it. Or Amazon.
I don't use the aluminum version because if I use it on a bolt that's going into aluminum, there is still a possibility it will seize due to the aluminum flake. Plus, the copper is higher heat and can be used on exhaust as well.

Also, WD40 is not a penetrating oil (I used to think it was great also, but I've learned) PB Blaster is definitely a penetrating oil and works way better. O'Reilly carries that too.

But I put that sh!t on everything. Grew up in Rochester NY, where they mine the road salt an hour south.
