Recently got my 8112s and installed them,

I Noticed the orientation of the front driver side hose fitting is different than the front passenger side.

Hose fitting is angled towards uca causing a bend in the hose. It barely clears the uca at full droop when car is lifted.

Passenger side

Passenger side hose fitting exits straight without angle which is what it's supposed to be.

I looked up other photos online and the hose seems to exit straight from the shock on driver side without an angle in the silver fitting.

my friend installed a set as well and he has the same thing as me.

Driver side shock hose silver fitting is angled towards uca.

Another person tried to order 8112s and found out he has to wait a couple of months for the front driver side shock while other corners are available in multiple quantities.
