No Kyle, the reason you see such a discrepancy on the passenger side is
due to the fact that that side gets drug through all the puddles that
accumulate
on that side. If in fact the piston retracted just as easy tells me that the
pins
and rails were a bit gummed up. Usually by the extra rust that and crap
that finds its way there. It sounds like you did a pretty through job.
