i have a set that were fitted to a sammi(designed for a jeep).when i fitted the fronts to my sj with vauxhaul carlton power steering the shackle fouls the pitman arm.QUESTION.can i fit them the other way round,the info says the joint should point at the axle.what will be the effect of pointing the joint forwards??

I have a set on the ft of my tin top the fold points to the frt axel no problems? never tryed to turn them around.

I run mine backwards in the rear and they work great. Never had a problem ever.

heres a old school pic of my zuk when I used to run revolvers front and rear...they flexed ok but I wanted alot more...and I did run them backwards for awhile with some rear springs up front (so they sat exactly like missing links) but in the rear I had axle wrap issues...but a traction bar wouldve solved that ....(or a link suspension:flipoff2: )

Loss of approach angle

This Zuki has changed to coil-overs
