I put new rear shocks in yesterday and everything seems fine, but I think I put them in upside down. how are they supposed to go?

I installed mine with the fat part up top and the piston on the bottom, something tells me that is wrong... :?:

It is....the fat part (where the piston goes inside) is suppost to be on bottom with the silver piston then being exposed on the top side.... :shock: :shock:

Could cause some harm to the shock. Its not made to work upside down. Flip them, they should be just fine.

:wink:
