yep, I'm trying to find out if these have been changed from the old pin type end to an eye.
The Koni catalogue lists a different rear shock from VIN XA159807.
Can anyone confirm or deny this please ?
thanks,
Rick.

2001 and 2002 were definitely pin type.

can only confirm td5's (not extreme's) are still pin
i recently loked at the new 90 + 110 extemes to see the rover rear diff and didn't notice any changes, so i would say they are still pin mount.
you would think in the 20 years they have been makint these chassis and shock mounts that rover could design shocker mounts that actualllylet the rear shoch move in a plane that doesn't bind bushes
whats wrong with aligned eye mounts for the shocks so when the axle articulates the bushes move around , ie not crushing to the max to allow misalighnment.
