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 ). |

Why not print REAR then? They printed FRONT LH and FRONT RH.
RR is just confusing (and stupid). |

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. |

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. Last edited by rab60bit; 28th June 2019 at 22:43.. |

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. |
