Then I wonder how Nissan gets away with using the same shocks for 2wd and 4WD V6 models, the only differences being for the SE-Off Road models which come with the Ranchos? And from what I see on Rockauto.com, all other aftermarket shock manufacturers are using the same rear shock part number on R51 V6 models, regardless of whether they are 2WD, 4WD or SE-Off Road models!eieio wrote:24-197434 4WD Rear

according to the information I just received from Bilstein, between the 2WD & 4WD rear shocks, there are differences in:
collapsed length and extended length
upper & lower eye mount diameters
compression damping & rebound damping
most of the differences are small, but the difference in rebound damping is considerable
