can you swap the whole damper/suspention strut from left side to rite side i know some car you can and some cars you cant

Why would you need that ?

the spring rates differ between front/rear and also front RH/LH sides, but i think the struts themselves are not 'sided'.

but as above....why?

I think oem struts are sided cos of the bracked for brake lines. On coilovers you can move them. Oem are welded

been trying to day .didnt work. you may have seen my thread on car pulling left just wanted to try swaping the whole strut to see in the pull went or changed. i just looked and i can get three thingers bewteen the tyre and the arc on the rite side and 4 on the left. also found the drivers side rear sub frame bush is like a leaking oil and is a bit crushed

if the subframe bushes are wrecked and its moving about, that will have an effect of the steering

there is a lot of oil round it and looks a bit flat the other side one is in great shape so am going to change the both

And as for the shocks high it made no diference on mine when i fitted coilovers and done experiment with one side lower. Car still drove straight

really i did think i would pull thats intresting like . the rear sides are the same its just the front 2 that arnt. ok i will do the subframe bush first is so can you fit oem bushings with the sub frame on the car

Them ones. You just undo the bolts that holds oem bushes. One at a time. Slip the one with a groove on tol and full circle at the bottom. Fit bolts back and job done. Simples

oem bush stays in place and them collars go inside the bush. it does improve the ride

so is it not possible to fit any kind of polly bush atall with the subframe still in the car its the front mounts on the rear subframe ?
