I'm not convinced I installed them correctly. I put the one that said "Left" on the driver's side (facing the car), and the "Right" on the passenger side.
That's why I said fat side because it's kinda confusing what's what. What I call fat part is the cylinder and I have on the hood and the piston side I have going to the fender. That's what the instructions I got said but if I remember right the part # from MOPAR showed left and right backwards.

That's how mine are but I don't understand why the colors are wrong. The hood looks the same on both sides so I don't think it would matter as long as the fat side was toward the hood.
The "sides" of vehicles are done as if viewing the car from behind. The left is the driver side, the right side is the passenger side.
The picture shows the correct orientation of the hood struts from my interpretation anyhow. They have been on there for a while and work perfectly anyway.
That's how mine looks too. I also know normal car talk left is drivers side but for some reason I was thinking when I installed these it seemed like they were labled in the part cat. wrong but like I said if they are holding the same weight and the hood is on the fat side it shouldn't matter.
I wonder if some of the shocks were reverse-labeled. Mine are installed as shown in the pics (the only way they would go on correctly, if memory serves) and are holding just fine.
I don't have the hood up much but mine seeem to be fine too, I think the main thing is to have the cylinder side to the hood and the lettering is pretty big with an arrow showing were the body is.
Yep, if you've got the 'fat cylinder' part towards the hood, they will only go on one way. You must have nailed it. (This was my first mod and it actually worked pretty easy for me and I'm no where near a mechanic)
I didn't have to drill out anything. There was a hole already there and the ball was self threading . It looks like you have an RT so I don't know why you had to drill out a rivet.

Ok I see your talking about takeing that hood prop rod out. I thought a first you had a SE and they didn't have the hole but in a later picture I saw it was a 5.7 and know it was a RT. I still haven't removed my hood prop.
Hey guys, So I'm pretty sure more than one person has done this before and I'm sure you guys can provide enough help to get it done. I want to swap my 5.7 and put a beastly 392 in my challenger. A friend of mine just wrecked his 392 charger and I'm planning on purchasing the engine.. and...
Guys I need your help I have a 2013 Dodge Challenger RT and I bought a very nice first shift knob but I have no idea how to take the pistol grip on the Challenger please let me know ASAP
I am currently doing the swap for my cousins SXT and he managed to get parts off of wrecked scatpacks. So far, we installed the new spindle (on one side) and he managed to get the adaptive damping front shocks but not the rears (I think they are adaptive because there's a connector coming out of...
Thought I'd help with some real world experience. Yep tried the many adhesives suggested in prior posts. To no avail, around the center AC Vents....didn't work. So I spoke to JB Weld Rep...told her what I tired, suggested on here many I had already, yada yada yada....she said use the JB Plastic...
I discovered something that might be of use to any other Rattle Can Picasso’s like me, so i figured I’d lay it out so y’all could spray it out.
Typical Scenario:
You’re painting the Hellcat style spoiler to put on your 2011-2014 Charger, and you keep getting blobs of paint coming out of the...
