The included left and right side shock caps allow the cap screw to face toward the inside of the vehicle and the bleeder hole to face the rear, away from incoming dirt and dust. The package includes one left and one right side shock cap, two emulsion O-rings, two emulsion cap screws and two small cap screw O-rings. The O-rings are also available separately as spares.
