Hi All,
hoping someone may be able to advise. We are just about to purchase a 2006 outback. However, when comparing it to other outback vans listed, it has a lot more ground clearance (possibly 100mm). Can someone please advise of the correct axle/ leaf spring configuration, axle over spring or axle under spring for this single axle van.
The owner told us that the van had a tendency to wander so he renewed the shocks and tyres in an attempt to rectify. Could this be due to the additional height?

Thanks

Not totally sure but from memory i think 06 models were infact factory under slung on Outbacks, I know the campers were.
They changed the axle arrangement on later single axle model Expandas to over slung, but used a off set axle to give to same height.
I quiried this when our 2010 model turned up and to my surprise wasnt underslung.
All dual axle models remained underslung. Till the new J-Tec suspension was added this year
