Have you considered camber adjusters instead?

Also have set of w/b parts to weld up. Discovered that there are slight differences in width dimension at chassis mounting end, depending on the chassis used. What is the usual width dimension for lower w/b?

Just for reference, the "book" dimension is 343mm.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Camber adjusters - allow you to adjust the camber without removing the ball joint from the upright. In order to do this you use a plain tube instead of the threaded one on the outboard end of the wishbone and then there is a threaded insert with a hex on one end that fits inside the plain tube. To adjust camber you release the lock nut on the ball joint, twist the camber adjust until the desired camber is achieved and then tighten the locknut again. Very simple and makes the wishbones easy to make too.
