Shock Mount Location

[SlicktoSlime]

I noticed a few of the cars have the left rear shock mount low on the birdcage. What are they trying to achieve?

probably has to do with the indexing of the bird cage ....

It makes the distance the shock mount travels greater for a given birdcage rotation. So, essentially, it alters the wheel rate.

Hard to say why they are doing it. First guy had a reason, the rest just piled on.
