irs wishbones
My rear lower wishbones will have rose-joints at one end and bushes at the other.
1) Does it make any difference if the rose-joints are at the chassis end (like Tiger Avon) or the upright end (like Rorty)?
2) I am using metalastic bushes in the front wishbones (as per book); are these also suitable (advantageous?) for the rear (bearing in mind the car is
intended for road use more than track)?

My MNR has bushes at the inboard end of the rear wishbones and rose joints at the outer ends. I have the "road" version of the car. It
handles well on the track too though.

Rorty as always got it right, his way will give less uncontrolled movement durring braking and acceleration -- hence less changes in toe.

If the rose joints are inboard, when adjusting toe in or out the whole wish bone moves,
moving the wheel back or forward within the wheel arch.
With rose joints outboard, when adjustments are made, the upright pivots and the wheel
stays in the same place within the arch.
Not an issue once set up, and if wheel arches are fitted last.
