wishbone brackets
phil m - 20/4/02 at 04:17 PM

Please can anyone help. I'm trying to position the brackets for the top-front wishbones. The book isn't clear on the relative positions of the top to bottom one. ie does the centre of each need to be in line ? Also does the wider side of the top one face the front ?

thanks in aticipation , Phil

Hold it right there !

I've just asked the same question in the "Running gear" section

Good luck

It looks to me (after consulting the book) that the top wishbone needs to be set back slightly. Cleverly the top wishbone is engineered to set it back a bit while actually sitting central to the bottom wishbone.

Hmmm, doesn't make much sense, it did in my head... basically set 'em up central, the offset is taken care of by the upper wishbone.
