it can go 360 degrees, Little more effective than 180

If you mean like this -
A tiny bit more clearance on the diff end but thats about it.

I think he means unbolt it rotate it 180* so its running back to front.

It just makes the outer part clear on one of the cross members. Thought it was only the front drive shaft though.waandy wrote:yea mateSIM79 wrote:I think he means unbolt it rotate it 180* so its running back to front.

you do it so that at full droop your tailshaft doesn't contact the crossmember.
not really that important unless you have a large lift.

Yep I flipped mine on a GQ wagon with 6" + 35"s as when at full flex it rubbed against the crossmember, even though it's not all the time it's a bit more preventitive maintenance as when rubbing it puts extra force onto the uni's therefore helping to shorten their life span, imho.
