It in essence measures the distance the body travels when under load or weight, ie. Extra passengers in rear. The pivot point should be towards the wheel. If it was disconnected for reasons of strut fitment/removal, there is a chance it was inverted at time of reassembly. See pic below, it is in the far right and i actually disconnected this particular assy and in the picture the elbow is facing the wrong way, should be towards wheel. If i am wrong, some one correct me.



You were absolutely right- the elbow on mine was facing inward. We didnt do an uninstall we just pushed the elbow the other way and now it faces the wheel and my lights dont go crazy anymore.

Thanks again.
