Default HELP!!!!ground controls installed UPSIDE DOWN!!!

hello i took my car to a motorsports in san jose to get my ground controls installed with shocks last week. today i decided to lower the back so i took off the right wheel and lowered it more, normal. THEN i went to the left side, took off the wheel and WTF the grouind control sleeve was upside down. i remembered this was the first side they worked on so they prolly didnt know how to install it. my question is if i leave it like this what will happen? will my suspension blow? also i noticed the screw to lock the grounjd control perch from moving is also missing.

another side note is the perch on the front left side is VERY VERY hard to turn while i noticed all the others are very easy to turn. was it possible they switched the two? or did they just put that one in the rear backwards??? PLEASE HELP URGEJNT!!!

Take it back to the shop that installed it and have them correct everything.

Don't know what to say about the missing screw (either they lost it, or they didn't tighten it when it was installed and you lost it during driving).

But if you go back (and ask nicely) they should re-install everything for you for no charge (since it was their mistake).

Yeah, take it back to the shop. I mean, if it was their mistake, they should know how to handle this problem.

this is so funny. i seen a set of shocks on ebay with them installed upside down. kid said it was a way to bumpy ride.
make them fix it and look at them while they are out to make sure they didnt damage the sleeves.
