I have just bought a pair of new, but slightly dirty Nivomatic shocks for one of my 960 CD esates. Problem...... which way up do they go? If I follow the lables fitted to them, the gaiter will be at the top, lable reads 'TOP->outside' the bolt hole is the larger of the two. The smaller of the two bushes is at the fat end. The genuine Nivomats are on the other way up with the gaiter at the bottom. Any advice will be most welcome before I start. Cheers, Alan.
