This may be a stupid question but maybe not. I imported at set of Zeal function X (at a great price I might add) and recently installed them. This is my first time installing coilovers myself along with other front suspension components...
Question is...one of the front coilovers (driverside, labeled with a yellow sticker) is reverse threaded. This is what it says in the US manual. My coilovers came with a yellow sticker on one of the coilovers. Ok, so I install that one on the driverside (left) and the other on the right. Then I think, shit I imported these things and they are meant for a Silvia meaning driverside (right). Weird thing is they fit fine the way I have them. The bracket for the brake hose is correct, etc. So should I switch them???
Second question, while test driving everything and settling the suspension before I get it aligned, I noticed the front right coilover making a spring noise when turing the wheel. I'm thinking that the preload from the Zeal factory setting is pretty weak...should I adjust it a full turn to see if it goes away??
Thanks
