    So, like an idiot, i accidentally threw away the entire passenger side drum brake assembly for my 72 Riviera. I managed to find replacement parts for everything but Im not sure about the struts. I ordered the replacement s from Rockauto but it is physically different than the stock piece and Im not sure if it really makes a difference. It will fit and seems not to interfere with anything but wanted to see if anyone on here had any advice.

    The ones for the Abodies have a slight offset,and the ones I had for the Vistas,with the wider 2.5" shoes,have even more offset,similar to yours,but what is your length?
    I have seen the A-body ones installed backwards,and they were functioning fine.Nothing was hitting.
