    just don't tell the spring.

    the better question is to ask eibach if they know which side they're stamping in the factory.

    I would take it back to the shop and have them fix their tiny mistake.
    It isn’t a big deal, shit happens. But I’m no engineer or such. It “MIGHT” matter.

    Might as well do it right, then leave it to be a future problem.

    I always say “That’s a problem for future me, fk that guy.”
    Future me hates past me.
