Have you ever wondered why some pickup truck shocks are not symmetrical left and right? Why one of them is sometimes mounted in front of the axle while the other is mounted behind the axle? Well, here is the answer.

Audio issues aside, the quality of your presentations are excellent. I'm happy SuperfastMatt mentioned your channel

Excited to see more uploads! One of the best automotive design channels Ive encountered. Do you have any suspension literature you recommend?

There are two books that are very good references to have: Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics by Thomas Gillespie and Race Car Vehicle Dynamics by Milliken and Milliken. That last one you will find on every vehicle dynamics engineer's desk.

@@suspensionsexplained Thanks for the reply! I know my old FSAE team used race car vehicle dynamics during chassis/suspension design and I've seen it referenced in quite a few sae papers. Time to get myself a copy of those two!

Love the content!! watched all your videos!! I’m taking the leaf springs out of my jeep and installing a 3 link up front and 4 link in the back. There are lots of videos showing the fabrication required and some about the pinion angle changes as it cycles. But I would love a video or series explaining link angles and lengths for good roll and what to shoot for anti dive and squat numbers. I know a lot of people doing coil conversations it would be helpful with some real geometry knowledge for some long arm 3 link, 4 link, radius arm type suspensions for us doing it in our home garage.
