Ever since I first saw a cutaway of a range rover chassis in a book when I was a kid, I've wondered why the rear dampers were oriented with one side facing forwards, the other side facing back. I've seen it a few times on different vehicles over the years too. Right now, I'm sat in non moving traffic looking at the arse end of a pickup, and it's the same...

if there both to the front of the rear of the axle they will make the axle twist? (dont see how thats an issue on rangeys as they have that big bar that stops the axle twisting) unless its a really old rangey with leaf springs? just a guess lol turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

No RR had cart springs... They all had coils (at least until the airbags), but all had the a frame and links. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

Maybe its something to do with anti-roll or something, or for clearance for a panhard rod maybe? Or to longitudinally locate the axle |

In the ariel view of the RR chassis, you can see the shock orientation.
