Hey All,
Do you know if changing the sides of the rear shock absorber’s springs (Right to the left and the opposite), can cause any damage?
I’m not going to do that, but theoretically.

It won't cause any damage. Worst case would be the potential lean to the right after swapping them left to right and vice versa.

To counterbalance, he will need to drive, leaning in the opposite direction. But it is a special skill that takes some mastering. Observe the first step.

I think she may have sprung a couple of shocks.
She definitely didn’t have enough up travel lol. Should have spec’d with Accutune first. :)
