two LH Rear struts - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yesterday I swapped out my springs for Eibach pro-kit springs and decided to keep the original struts. I did the fronts, no problem, they are labeled RH and LH accordingly. I pull the back ones out, and both struts have LH labeled on them. First off, was this a mistake from the beginning when I got my 86? Or is this how it is meant to be? I can't see any major differences like the front ones (brakes on the opposite side and all) the backs seem symmetrical.

Thoughts and experience welcomed!

Rear shocks are identical left/right.

That makes me feel better, just scary when I pull it off the rhs and it's labeled LH. Damn you subaru!

Thanks again for the quick response
