ECE rear shocks
I did a search, but can't seem to find the right combination.
I dropped the rear of my 70 with the ECE 4/6 kit and the only way the shocks worked were to place them "upside down". Meaning the larger cup end was at the bottom...they appear to work fine, but I'm a little concerned with water getting into the larger cup and sitting there, and causing rust issues and potential shock failure. Do I have them incorrectly installed? |

Re: ECE rear shocks
I don't think they should go upside down. We'll see what others say.

Re: ECE rear shocks
I've done at lot of ECE installs. Never had to install the shocks upside down. I think your concern about holding water is very valid.
If you can post a picture of what you have, we can see what's wrong and help you figure it out.

Re: ECE rear shocks
I have always installed them upside down I guess. I didn't realise that the larger cup end was designed to go at the top.
