Daniel,
The significance of the yellow or blue paint was to tell the men on the
assembly line which one to grab for which side. It was easier to grab a
yellow colored shock for the right side (correct?) than to look at it and
try to figure out if it was a lefty or a righty.
It saved time on the assembly line also. Always a consideration of
management anyway.
