Default Front Suspension
This doesn't look right. It was really tough to get the bolt through the bottom of the shock. It looks to me that the shock assemblies are ambidextrous and I looked at old threads to see if the bracket was correct, but maybe it isn't. Any thoughts?

Yes...the shock bracket is on the wrong side of the car

Cheers!

Thanks Carl. I figured it was something like that but wanted to ask the experts before trying to get that out of there again.

I appreciate it.

The flat side goes to the front of the car.

Thanks Bertrand.

It is confirmed. I am an idiot. Should have been able to figure this one out.

Welcome Dave.
You're not an idiot.
I think we all do things like that once in a while.
At least I do.
