- I was told to change the rear shock ends (the ones that holds the steering knuckle onto the chassis) to the longs ones instead of the short as this will make the suspesion arms flat rather than on an angle as this will help rear end stabilty - is this the case? I know the angle of the arms effect roll centre??
