Saloon self levelling shockers
« on: 31 March 2016, 12:49:10 »

Have noticed this previously, but whilst doing a job under the car today, it reminded me to ask....
Why on a saloon with self levelling shockers, is the head of the offside lower mounting bolt shrouded in a strong cupped washer, when the nearside is just a thinner slightly dished washer?
The shocks are the same and not handed, and the mounting point on the hub assembly is the same.
Any thoughts...more intrigued than anything else..

Often wondered that... could simply be a quirk of the production process... jig clearance or summat equally odd :-\
