My 2005 Roadster has the axle forward, but it doesn't bother me. I believe the changes took place around 2006.

Just to confuse things even more my late 99 4/4 has 5 leaf springs, still with a very offset axle position.

I keep thinking of using the spacers to move it central under the arch.


There’s 4,5, 6, and 7 leaf cars out there.....
