Front lower A arm touches bracket

What angle is acceptable for the lower front wishbone to touch the rear bracket at its maximun angle below the horizontal? I hope mine are not binding too soon? I don't have an agle to quote. Any thoughts?

If I understand your question you are asking how far the bottom wishbone should be able to droop before before it hits the chassis/bracket?

Doesn't really matter as long as what ever shocker you have fitted prevents it fouling. If with the shock fitted the arm contacts anywhere then you have a problem and will need shorter shocks or to move the pick up points.

I think you'd be running about 18" ground clearance if your bottom wishbones were hitting the bottom rail, general school of thought says start off with them parallel about 4 1/2 " ground clearance
