Now just one GL450 with EORP.
Not sure what you mean by wrong… Is it clocked wrong so that you don’t have enough airline to reach it?

Is it possible to remove and rotate the bottom piece?

Unfortunately not. I looked at a YouTube video and I think the alignment tan is casted into the lower arm.

The bag is fastened to the plastic pieces top and bottom with clamps like those used for packing straps. Or PEX tubing. Somehow they rotated one of the pieces 180 when they assembled it. Sucks.

I’ve emailed them and waiting for their final decision. They’re still playing coy and pretending that they don’t understand what I’m saying.

Strutmasters got back to me and said it’s my car that something is wrong with eventhough it’s clearly obvious that they sent me a unit with a factory defect.
