Yes, you need caster as well... about 6 degrees worth of it, as a ballpark figure.

300 mm Lower wish bone.
240 - 250 mm Top Wishbone

300mm between the centres of pivots that attach the wishbones to the frame.

Thus giving a 9 degree King pin tilt thingymebob.

What's the roll centres/instant centres like with that setting? They seem pretty short wishbones is all....

You'll want to be careful with the plunge on the driveshafts too, shouldn't be quite as bad with a double wishbone generally but it's worth checking just in case.

P.S. XUD's suck balls - Ripp
