Thank you!
I now have this picture in the car folder.
Is that 914 in the background pink?
The hat shape is there to hold the spring concentric to the shock. If placed upside down, nothing would hold the spring concentric.

Not only that, on the correct side only, there's a groove around the ID which captures the height adjusting ring so it can't pop out.
