help w/f150 spring spacers

[zensius]

I've got my front end apart and I need help. Can somebody please tell me which side of the vehicle is left? Or right? And when adding front f150 spacers does the pin sticking down on the spacer lock back against the axle next to the support that goes to the frame? And do I keep the original rubber spacers? Thanks!

Left and right in a vehicle is determined from the driver seat. When you sit behind the wheel the driver side is the LEFT and the passenger side is the RIGHT. I cut the little pin off my spacers when I installed them, but on the F-150 the pin is located on the front side of the axle (again determined from the driver seat). Finally, yes you want to keep the rubber spacers. They are used to isolate the spring from the mount (reduce noise).
