Yellow on this one. The markings point out. They are not symmetrical. The strut does not hang correctly if the yellow/pink is not pointed out.

I cleaned my intake and maf sensors while the hood was up. TB was pretty nasty.

My new disc on the right side had a slight scratch. I got tired of waiting for the replacement. I installed the scracted rotor with new pads. Of course the next day my replacement arrived.

I replaced my pads and rotors while I had the wheel off. The brake wear sensor was missing it's clip. It didn't want to stay glued in so I zip tied it out of the way. These are just a way for dealers to make money imo.

Anfanger luckily this piece has an alignment flange on it. It's not adjustable. I reapplied red loctite to both strut bolts. I wish these had safety wire bolt heads or a cotter pin to install. I can see a lot of issues arise if this bolt came out.

Right strut was leaky. Plus the actuator was missing the metal tangs to hold it onto the strut.

I shaved down this 17mm socket to shorten the setup further. This setup never did turn the nut. It did fit on the top nut, but just barely. Ultimately, it got jammed in place by the exhaust manifold. I spent 30 minutes trying to get it back off! I never used it again. I don't recommend trying this method.

The square on the ratchet used to look like the adaptor in this picture.

I also cut down an adaptor to make a 1/4" ratchet fit a 17mm socket. The small square used to look identical to the 1/4 to 3/8 adaptor.
