I just picked up a set of used konis and the guy told me the left front shock is leaking and i need to get a new one. When someone says left front. Would this be the driver side? or the passenger? i mean if you are sittin in the car then the driver side would be the left but if you were standing in front of the car the passenger side would be the left. Also on the front shocks i can grab the bottom of them and twist them. The only part that twists around is the yellow part that has the brake line slot on it. Is this normal? thanks

 

most people refer to side from the drivers perspective...as for being able to turn the shaft, this is perfectly normal.

 

In automobile terms, left/right is ALWAYS from the driver's perspective.

 

ok cool. thanks guys
