Picked up a set of KW V3 struts for my 986. I noticed one pair has these "tabs" on the bracket bent over while the other pair has the tabs out at 90 degrees.
I suspect they differentiate between right and left sides, does anyone know for sure?
That tab looks damaged - both should be @ 90 deg as per picture #2.
You should be able to bend it straight as the tabs are used for the rubber grommets holding the electrical wires for the brake sensors & ABS IIRC.
