Lola t 70 rep rear upper wishbone
http://www.race-car-replicas.com/images/rear_susLOLA_TUBE_FRAME_CHASSIS_1_031.jpg
Would you be happy with this rear upper wishbone on a kit you paid US D 23 500 for?
Cheers

can't help wondering how strong that top wishbone is when subjected to accelaration / decelaration..... but it does look nice!

I agree Mike.....except for the looking nice bit..
Not good engineering at all.

The lower wishbone I don't care for either.
Using wishbones at the rear is a modern trend copied from ground effect cars --- 60's and 70's racers used parallel links

I agree that that's pretty unremarkable engineering in a $23K+ kit! Was it Colin Chapman who called bent tubes "pre-failed" ?
