Im not a suspension pro but that looks upside down to me. Is there a pocket on the top of that as well? Hard to tell from the pic.

cool thanks! if you look on the right side of the strut the end of the spring is barely seating on the perch.... this is also causing the passenger side to sit up at least quarter inch higher than the driver... (just in the rear)

im taking it back the dealer on Tuesday to get it done right.... lets hope

yea im pretty sure they are... looking closely at the pic on the thread that MinusPrevious posted there is a space between the perch and the strut on the bottom when installed correctly... how mine are now it is completely flush on the bottom and the side with the space is on the top... hence upside down...

man you would think a dealer could get this right.... wont be going back to them

We all think taking it to the dealer we are getting the best, instead we get incompetence

Good thing you caught it & checked into it

Peace, Joe
