Re: [Amc-list] Staggered Shocks on rear axle.

I've often pondered why the
shocks are staggered on the back of a 70 Jav or AMX.
Anyone know why??

To counter the torque reaction under acceleration to 
prevent axle tramp when the tires are spinning. Keeps
traction constant rather than allowing tire bounce. 
There is a twisting action that tries to lift one tire
and place pressure down on the other tire. Bounce and 
rebound valving of the shock controls that.
