stock coil side question

hey guys can somebody check their stock trd offroad truck right and left side front coils? i'm trying to reassemble them but don't know which one goes on which side. there is a green and red dot on them and the winding is a bit different, take a look.



and i also need the top section parts of the shock to assemble them if anybody has any laying around hit me up.



thanks a lot

 

One will be tighter or stiffer I believe to compensate for the taco lean.

Can't say for which one though.

 

nobody can check that for the bro?

 

i should of marked them before taking them off.

 

From what I have heard here on TW the markings differ by model year and where the vehicle was assembled. Finding someone with the same model year and same colored markings is the your best bet. Its kind of a longshot though.

Mine is an 05 and has green dots on one side and tan or grey on the other.

 

Take a careful look to figure out which is longer/taller. The once that's longer goes on the drivers side to eliminate the lean.

 

damm i was afraid of that my truck is a 2011 trd offroad built in texas.

thanks for your input anyways.

 

from looking at those springs it looks like the green dot would be a bit softer since the winding of the coil is a bit further apart, therefore going on the passenger side and the red dot on the driver side. would you agree?

 

If the drivers side is actually longer, and not just thicker or wound different, you could sit them on a level surface and hold a 2-3 ft level across the highest point of each spring that should give it away.

 

the thickness of the coil looks the same and the height is very close the same as well really can't tell a difference. the only difference is the way they are coiled.

 

For what its worth, my 14 off-road has a brown and yellow dot on drivers side. Then brown and white on the passengers.

 

Well, you have a 50 50 chance of getting it right. Lol

 

This is the best thread I've found on here so far, but it still dosent answer your question.

i've already read that too.

thx for looking.

 

what about those top mounting pieces. anybody have any?

 

I will offer up a WAG and say the green dot for the drivers side by the way it is wound.

 

Yup.... Just install them and see what happens. Easy enough to switch if they're wrong.

 

Mine is blue on the driver's side, white on the passenger side.

 

OP here you go. Green is Passenger side and red would be the drivers side. I took mine off but marked them before I did. Hope this helps.

 

Well I had a 50% chance of being right....
