What is the main reason that the left rear hub needs to be on the right and the right hub on the left?

Is the situation the same for the optional aluminum rear hubs?

IT MOVES THE MOUNTS FOR THE CAMBER LINKS BACK WHICH HELPS THEM LINE UP.THESE PARTS ARE FROM THE 511 ORIGINALLY I THINK

If lining up the camber links is the reason, then it shouldn't matter as the links are differently on the alu hubs anyway.

501 has these hubs too, I think. Unless there is a slight difference between the 501 and 511 hubs.

The plastic hubs are from 501X. Same on 511 and 201.

On the 501X the hub marked "R" was on the right side. Thats why it says "R". The camber link was mounted on the back of hub.

On the 511 and the 201 the camber link is mounted in front of the hub. To clear the ballcup from the wheel you use the hub marked "R" on the left side.

They are, as mentioned above, a 0 degree hub.

The 501X alu hubs (#53962) can go on either side. Also 0 degrees.

For me, it allows the shock to drop faster than it raises.

Not really, I did it more to prove that you don't have to go and buy fancy tapered pistons, you can make them yourself.
