Default Shock set

Received my shock set from Brattons this morning. The kit contained 2 right front shocks and 2 left front shocks. The shock arms are different (longer) for the rear, so I guess all is OK. The steering wheel side is the left side, so I guess the other front, left shock will be positioned at right rear. I prefer the CW / CCW directions for installing the shocks, but I think I have it figured out, maybe - I guess - might be confused - could be wrong. I hate to get things all "jacked up" and then mess up. Clarification? Perhaps I think about these things too much, but I have grown tired of "putting together / taking apart". Thanks for any input. BW

Well you ain't gonna be happy with these either IMO, ...'cause my experience with those shocks has been "putting together / taking back off" without exception because they leak and quit working fairlyquickly. I have not had any decent success using those shocks. Originals that are properly rebuilt or new Stipe shocks is all that I found that will last.
