if the wheel moves 50mm in 1 second and the shock is mounted RIGHT on the outside near the wheel, the piston will move roughly 50mm in 1 second
if the shock is mounted half way along the wishbone, the piston will only move roughly 25mm but it will still take 1 second - 25mm per second
so in this extreme (and simple) example, the shock mounted in the 'outer' location has twice the piston speed compared with the inside position for the same wheel speed.
**this is an exagerated and simplified example**
