Which direction do these fox shocks get installed? (Pics included)

There is obviously a difference in spacing, but no instructions to be found on Hotchkis website or any other instructions we could find online. Anyone have any clue which side should be facing the front of the car?

Thanks in advance!

That's the rear, right?  I just put mine on a couple of days ago, but I didn't notice a significant difference between the two sides; they looked the same to me, front or back... :shruggy:

Nope these are the front shocks. There is a difference and we are using the QA1 LCAs so we aren't sure if it will make a difference if we put them in one way or another.

Thanks for the replies! We will probably just install them so they match since one side of the bushing is rounded and sticking out and the other is flat and flush with the side of the mount.

I must be getting old, but I swear that mine were equal on both sides.  Oh well, hope you get them on soon!

I would say you mount them so 'FOX' is not upside down?   :shruggy:

Yea we got that... lol...

We were more concerned with the bushing sticking out further on one side than the other. I guess we could be over thinking it.

That teaches me to pay more attention next time.   :lol:

I would not be concerned.  That spacing is not going to do much of anything either way.
