GM arent
KYB arent
Lesjesfors(sp) arent...

you are surely buying a pair anyway, so shouldnt matter?


the top tang should point to the rear of the car regardless...
the only difference could be the spring wound clockwise / anticlockwise, for each side, but unneccessary imho.

HI
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENQUIRY, THE PART NUMBERS WE GAVE YOU ARE FOR THE LEFT AND RIGHT, AS THE OMEGAS HAVE TO DIFFERENT SPRINGS ON EACH SIDE, SO IF YOU ARE ORDERING BOTH, YOU WILL NEED TO ORDER CS4101 X1 AND CS4102 X1
THANK YOU FOR ENQUIRING WITH US, IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN HELP YOU WITH; PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US AGAIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

A THOUGHT.... and I don't know the answer ...

The Carlton was known as the OMEGA A on the continent .... as these are from Germany is that the problem ??? Omega A springs not Omega B ???

Were Carlton springs handed ???
