Hmm not sure I see a bulge up or down...? Snapped some quick pics. Have to look again later.

It’s up, and arrow pointing to back of vehicle.

It's on upside down. It truly does make a difference in how it functions.

Prior to this recall I only had one steering issue. The steering would lock up as if the car needed power steering fluid when driving 40-60mph. Almost got into an accident when this occurred. Took it to the dealership and they reprogrammed something which did fix the issue. I havnet really noticed any other issues so I ignored the notices until the dealership called me directly and asked to service it. Had service done wednesday which took about an hour. I have noticed steering is a little bit tighter but other than that things are normal. However I have noticed a strange stuttering on the highway when decelerating/maintaining traffic speed. Might have to head back to the dealership...

Looked at mine and sure enough it’s also upside down. I don’t understand how this simple install is getting screwed up as much as it is.

The V41 Upside Down Club poll is suggesting that 40% of installs were bad. Check your new dampers folks!

I spoke with the dealer today about it and it sounds like they are going to fix it. I don't know if i need to escalate at this point. Thank you
