I think my shocks are on wrong

Post by Danzig »

Guys:
I have been looking at several pics, and notice that the shock placement on the ski's on my 73 X8 are bolted down and on the outside of the ski. I have seen pics and most of them show the shocks on the inside of the ski's. What is the proper placement of the shock on the ski and what or does it affect anything being in the outside position?
