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....

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