jon boy Regular Location: high wycombe Registered: 24 May 2008 Posts: 202 Status: Offline	Post #1 I'm sure they are, but, i had a mechanic fit new struts yesterday and i think he's fitted them the wrong way round. If they have been fitted incorrectly are any other comoponents likely to have been damaged? Any help would be much appreciated.

Post #2 Yep, they're handed, fit them the wrong way around and the droplinks don't have enough travel and generally make funny noises and eventually wear out/pop off. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
