i was lookin at the shock mounts of the rear diff today ... on both my wagon and ute ...

they aren't mounted symetrical (same either side .. the drivers side is more more to the center

is there any reason for this? or is it just nissan booty fab to make it fit?

i too have noticed this on mine i know the pumpkin is slightly off centre maybe it has to do with the panhard mount i was thinking? can't tell anymore as i have cut off my panhard mount

i have noticed ages ago as well, and the only reason i can see is the panhard mount, but at the moment, running a standard link setup, im not worried yet

if you want too, what would be the difference in having them in the same location???? maay be a couple of mm of travel? is it worth the extra work? id only do it if i was modding them anyways,

i was lookin up top at the room above the diff and uppershock tower. With a body lift, there is heaps of room. I might make a new tube cross meber up top, lifted higher to fit longer shocks. I could lift it up heaps and cut in to the floor and put in 15inch stroke on just a 3-4inch lift. Anyone tried this mod. I know people have done it, jus wanna noe if there is sumtin i should watch out for.
