Default Problem with Koni's!

I recieved my package for the front Koni's, (Part number 8241-1139Sport) and on one of the shocks, the arrow that points up, is actually pointing down. Holy run-on sentence!

What should I do? I'm sure the internals are fine, jus' the housing that is upside down.

Um.... what arrow? I think you're looking at the Koni sticker, which is just upside down.

Um, . . . . these arrows. See how I come off as an *** when I say something like that Strano? That's my only beef with you.

I'm talking about these arrows. They are pointing in the wrong direction.

Dude, the top is the bottom, lol

Well..... is the shock shaft in the right direction? Like are the spring perches also upside down? I'd think the shocks would be either obviously something wrong with them or obviously ok to put on your car.

In my defense, the Koni sticker sometimes applied to the shocks looks like an arrowhead, and to be read, it points down.... Of course, why consider why I might have said such a thing, better to just call me an ***.

Lingenfelter ought to be able to answer all your questions.

A wider angle picture would help.

Are the spring perches upside down ?

I don't have a Camera. So I snapped those pics with jus my phone. I tried to do a wider shot but the arrows don't show. But basically, instead of pointing up, it's pointing down towards the ground.

I'll give Lingenfelter a call. Lingenfelter has the best price on these shocks too.

In any event, the direction of those arrows look different than the brand new Konis I received last week.

So what is the verdict on this one? Why were the arrows pointing the wrong way? Did you install them and everything was ok?

Thanks.

No matter what you do, be sure and call anyone who tries to help you an ***. Extra points if they are a sponsor, and multiple extra points if you did not even buy the shocks from them. Bonus points included if you don't bother to call the actual supplier.

If lingenfelter has the best PRICE on anything, I'll be surprised.

But add me to the *** list, at least I own a camera.
