Spring & damper label - C.I. codes
 
Anyone know what 'RR' stands for here?

(Right Rear is the obvious guess but that wouldn't make sense 'cos there's no 'LR' to go with it :shrug:).

Why not print REAR then? They printed FRONT LH and FRONT RH.

RR is just confusing (and stupid).

"We are where we are" is currently a popular phrase. Bit of a pointless sort of observation considering the last labels would have been printed circa 14 years ago. I can't even read mine as the seat base has somehow erased the majority of the data.
Anyone one here got a March 2004 Contemporary SE 2.5 manual (no traction control) that has a legible label - should be identical, would appreciate a copy of their data please.

No it's not. The original question was what does RR stand for.

Have you got the answer? No, you haven't.

Now now. I refer my response to your post 3 which was a retorical question concerning 'why did they....'.
Regards your initial question - yes, I might have and answer for you. I would suggest the front assemblies are differentiated (i.e. in long hand) because the springs for each specific model/variant are the same right and left but the dampers are different; on the line they would be kitted/fitted and defined as unique/handed sub-assemblies. In the case of the rear assemblies the springs and dampers are identical (for each specific model/variant) so RR is factory shorthand for what are identical right Rear and left Rear sub-assemblies. Whoever set up the label print format considered it logical and adequate RR spring and RR damper.
My guess is that a LH drive model identical in all other specification respects to a RH drive model would have the front damper/spring assembly side-to-side reversed where the CI was concerned. Someone on here with more detailed knowledge might be able to confirm this fact.

Id say the answer is in the pic...

R40 being the model, to me it would read R40 Rear spring, and R40 Rear damper.

Clutching at straws but then again it is just a rubbish label.

Have a look at the legend, top right of this damper analysis chart - https://www.racecar-engineering.com/wp-content/gallery/rr-damper-signal/challenge1.jpg

So it's:
  • Damper FL (Front Left)
  • Damper FR (Front Right)
  • Damper RL (Rear Left)
  • Damper RR (Rear Right) (as post 1)
