mq/mk rear leaf reversal

[GOT MUD]

looking for info on doing this had a search but no luck

basically want to swap them end for end so long end is at the front and short side at the rear and need to know how to work out moving the mounts etc or something we have missed

how that makes sense

cheers

look at zer0s or screwys old "emmq" build up
its pretty easy
no need to move mounts at all just need to rotate diff to get pinnion angle right. biggest issue is fuel tank and wheel arches if its still has a full body
oh and get a custom tail shaft made.

this is not that hard of a procedure to do i think the most maybe that you have to get some new bushes pressed in ... cant remember if the pins are different sizes due to i upgraded all my mounts and pins etc

if you tell your suspension guy this than no probs at all all you have to do is turn them around

there are a fer main things
1. is that the plate that are bolted up to the bottom of your springs swap them so left is on the right and right is on the left turn them so that your shocks will be infront of you diff rather than behind the diff

2. you will need a new tail shaft cause you are goin about another 6 inches longer

3. pinion angle will need to be brought back to where it should be

now your shocks will lean a lil forward but i figure that its not that bad of a lean and the bushes in the shocks have had worse

another thing is relocate your bump stops backwards as well or else you may find a diff shaped dint in your fuel tank
