I've had my friendly ferrari mechanic around today (brother inlaw) whilst looking at the front suspension he pointed out that the upper wishbones are very very different. is this a manufactureing problem or are they susposed to be a long long way out?

what are your experiences???

in what way do you mean, do you have a pix.

Hi what do Ferrari machanics know about proper cars
Jacko

what way do you mean different?

Have you put them both the same way up?

the section shows the treaded tube is at different angles

whilst the plan shows that on one side the wishbone follows the lower whilst on the other it is way out, thus giving very different geometry on each side

Could be wrong but it seems like you may have 2 of the same wishbones

as you look from the top and rear the rear arm of the top whishbone should be almost at 90 degree to the chassis while the front arm tapers backwards quite a bit. although your diagrams aren't too accurate it seems that your left wishbone could be the same as your right one.

Time to ring MK they dont look right to me Jacko

Many Thanks..

it's what i thought , as they are clearly left and right, but they have very different radii, one must have been made wrong.

a phone call to MK on Monday this will set back my plans to have the car finished before the summers over

car was almost complete now it comming apart again..
