2017 trd sport strut id???

Anybody know which one is drivers side and which one is passengerside? Was going to install them and want to get them on the right sides! Yes I searched first but could not find an answer. Thanks in advance, hopefully someone can identify this for me.

 

No specific side. Both will bolt up to either side with no issues.

 

Awesome thanks! Going on my 2015! Do they suffer from taco lean like the second gens?

 

Yeah I would maybe throw a spacer in there if you are worried about it.

 

Thanks for the help, much appreciated !

 

No worries

 

I thought OEM was in fact side specific. There was some way to tell but i cant find the thread. Maybe not for the 16-17, not sure

 

I think that thread was about the leaf packs being side specific.

 

Certain coils are different and have different color dots. Blue green was driver i think and blue red was passenger from what i remeber. But the ones pictureed have the same color so either side will do.

But as mentioned above, moot point since OPs picture shows same markings on both

 

Note that one has the white band on the coil opposite the paint marking????? Left strut in the first pic. Second coil from the top. Think this means anything?

 

They should be side specific because if you try to order springs there's one for the left one for the right

 

If they were different the driver side one would be slightly higher from factory from what ive read about the dots and such.

 

Higher eye to eye or higher coil spring?

 

assembled, it probably wont appear taller, would need to be disassembled. you may be SOL till you install them

 

Something to do with a small spacer from factory to help with the weight on drivers side.

 

Wow bad info alert. Struts (shocks in this case) are not side specific. The coil springs are. Cannot comment on the paint markings which likely vary on specific trucks (think there are 14 part numbers for 16+ fromt springs)

Edit there is no factory spacer and coils appear same height so neither of those methods will work. Difference is minor but on the wrong sides you will be accentuating the lean

 

Sorry to tell you, but I think whoever sold you the shocks, sold you two Driver's side shock. You should have one shock with a green dot and the other with a red dot.

 

They def did not as I showed up just after the ome lift was installed on the 2017 sport. These are as they were on the truck.

 

Anyone have a 2017 for a direct comparison ???? Thanks
