Had an issue with one of my shocks and had to send them out to be repaired.
I'm running a set of Penske 7500 series shocks in the car. These were mounted with the shaft pointing down in the fronts and shaft pointing up in the rears.
I was looking at some pics of these installed on everyone elses car and most of them are mounted with the shaft up in the front and backs.
I have the fronts out of the car and before I reinstall them wanted to ask the question. Does it matter which direction they are installed and does it affect the handling characteristics?
They fit either way, but makes changing the rebound easier or difficult depending on which way they are facing.
Any help appreciated.
This is the how they were installed...
