In a solid axle setup the torque of the diff tube rotating in the opposite direction to the tyres is held by trailing arms (4-link) and transferred to the chassis and then allows the spring to push down on the rear wheels. This is where you see the separation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my customers have found better traction with the konis fittedSorry for my ignorance Senna but those Koni Shocks... Are they suited to the standard XR6T springs or should the springs also be changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
