Can a left front strut be used on the right side? I assume the only difference is the brake line bracket that is reversed? Its on a 95 240. I have hks coilovers and the front ones are so stiff that the front end just bounces when you hit bumps, or on roads that arent perfectly smooth, and im getting tired of it. If you push down on the front end, the tire is the only thing that moves, and the coilovers are set to full soft.

i believe your right as it wouldent affect the construction of the actual strut and the mounting points are identical. just that silly brake line holder.

No.

It's not just the brake line bracket. The hat which seats the spring is also eccentric towards the nose of the car.

But even that doesn't really matter right?

your right my bad.

That is a good question. I don't believe clearance with the wheel and tire will be affected, I do however think it will cause some kind of spring binding. Keep in mind that when you turn the wheel, the entire shock body turns as well. That is where you may run into problems.

I could be wrong though. But I am pretty sure I am not.
