Have I created the worst design rear wishbones?
 

Have I created the worst design rear wishbones? After having my lower rear wishbones painted etc I decided I really would like a little adjustment in them. Now not having any seamless tube I thought I'd amend what I had. They aren't finished but are they even worth finishing? is this design really daft?

its not to far from the design i had in mind, i've seen something similar somewhere before, thats what made me think about modifying mine.

Will that not be exposing the joints to shearing force under braking ? We are putting them on all four corners but on the inside.

I am curious as to why you feel the need to make such a mod, camber can adjusted via the upper wishbone,half track and toe can be adjusted by placing shims behind the bearing block were it bolts up to upright

the load paths arnt great if truth be told

my main concern however is the fact that it appears you are using very low quality rod ends on the most highly loaded wishbone on the hole car

tilly

Why oh why did I not think of shims behind the bearing block. Can't speak for the quality of the rod ends they were there for mock up if I end up finishing this they would be quality items.
