just a quick Q...

installing my tein and I noticed that the shocks are left and right specific. As I cant read japanese I noticed the shocks have the markings...

FT and FRor something close
e.t.c

could anyone tell me which is which i.e. orientation wise ???? By the way In australia we're right hand drive!!!

 

Does it have a bracket attached to the shock body for the brake line attachment? Also there should be a pin that you have to slide into the fork. That would determine which one goes to which side.

Show us some pics and we might be able to help you more.

 

i was just finding out what FT and FR means..

If you go to

What is Ft and Rr also are the shocks side specific??? i.e. Ft for drivers side????

That chart gives out info on Front and Rear. Nothing it mentioned is side specific.
Ft = Front
Rr = Rear

 

reason why i'm asking, I know the type R shocks are side specific i.e. L and R marked on the shcok so i was just wondering if the teins were to?
