Mk Top front wishbones
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???

Have you put them both the same way up?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.

I'd tend to agree with this comment but the threaded part should be equal to each other. Return them IIWY

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..
