How old are these?

Postby Wivvix » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:58 pm

Hi guys,

So I was cleaning the wheels and decided to take a few pics of the shocks while they were off.

This might seem obvious, but does the F on this sticker denote which end of the vehicle the shock is supposed to be? :?

Can anyone pick the age of the shocks from these snaps?

Does this look cactus to you guys? The tie rod end, it looks pretty worn to me. This is the front passenger side.

Ref shocks, it's long on the front & short on the rear.
