Is the rear subframe on the van different to a car? If so has anyone got one they want to sell? |

No difference... only handbrake cables are longer on a van |

as far as i am aware they are the same as normal sedan ones, the dampers are different though, they are slightly longer to reach the mounting point. Cheers aaron |

Cheers aaron 30mm to be precise. It's hard to get new van shocks, but you can put sedan ones in, thats what I did with my van. |

The trumpet (fits between the arm and cone) on a van rear subframe is a few mm longer and has a slightly different foot where it fits into the cone. This is to stiffen the rear end slightly and cope with a full load. Same trumpet is used on a Moke. |

Thanks fellas. The rear subframe I was given for the van is very rusty. I can't be bothered trying to fix it. I'll have a bit of a look around for rear dampers. |

Just put sedan shockers in... unless your planning on carrying heavy loads around. |

unless your planning on carrying heavy loads around. It will be loaded, just depends on what is meant by heavy loads. What is the load rating of a van? |

I have sedan shocks in my vans and ute... And they carry around a lot of crap. hasn't hurt them. you may find they wear out a little faster but most times they last longer than the owner |
