I have been trying to solve this banging from the rear and it's been doing my head in so I took at trip over to Jeds for some Syncro servicing.
He sat in the back to work out where it was coming from.

Being a newbie I didn't even know rear shocks were longer on a syncro, and having already swapped them with my 2wd ones I discounted them as the problem.




So thanks jed you were right, I have even found the part No for the Van-Magnums and they are indeed for a 2wd.
Luckily Axeman had an old pair which I have fitted for now (cheers Neil) .
The van feels totally weired now though, really wallowy. I liked the feel of the Van Magnums other than the banging so am considering getting a new pair, but the proper ones.

I fitted a set of these to the front of my Westy, http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trks ... Categories" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they are really good and stop the van wallowing when loaded up and stops it from sagging under weight too. I am going to stick some on the back too (30mm ones) after I fit some Futbus rear shock extenders and wishbone spacers. Gonna whack some on the Doka too.

Pat attention 007 !Was on the tinkerbelle thread with pics lots of other 2wd differences shown aswell

Wish I had seen that when I looked at it. Would have saved me about three weeks.
