Front top Wishbone angle?

Chaps,

any suggestions on the optimum angle of Avon front wishbones.

On 13" rims, 175.60.13 kumho V70's, the current angle is -1 degree sloping down towards the wheel rim.

Only 26mm sump clearance, but that is another story.


195 50 15 R888's fitted

Bottom wishbone angle now increased to -2 degrees sloping down towards the hub

sump clearance now 53mm

Ime no expert but i recently spoke to a well known geo company
He said to set it with a spirit level so that the pivot point at the inner mount is about 5mm higher than the bottom ball joint point on the outside of the wishbone
That way when you corner and the wishbone rises it lengthens as it reaches horizontal and dials in extra - camber
If it were level at rest it would shorten under load,dialling in + camber
Does that make sense?
