I have been working on the suspension on my car and I know the front bars are marked left and right but when I took them out I forgot to notice which end goes in first. On the red bars there is a bluish strip closer to one end. Does it matter which end goes in first? as long left is left sand right is right.

O.K. so I'm setting the bars in Carerror and I don't know which side they came from. What happens when they break? My guess is that the car falls, if it's low enough it will hit the ground.
Question, what should the angle be on the arm to start with? How colse to level should they be before I start to adjust them? |
