Mushroom orientation
Hi Could anyone advise in which direction the offset on the mushroom inserts is meant to point ? it appears to point towards the back of the upright or into the centre of the chassis from the picture on page 73

Centre - Front I think

On that page (#73) it states in the text of paragraph 3, "The hole must be tight in the suspension upright with the hole at the front."

It gives a good amount of self center at the front and after IVA move them to 11 o'clock on the left one and 2 o'clock on the right to give better feel to steering and better handling.
Dont forget to provide some locking device for IVA.

sorry to jump in but I'm at the same stage. I know the mushrooms are meant to be tight but i can barely fit mine in at all which would be fine if i can get them spot on but i'll never be able to move the orientation of the hole as you suggest. How are yours for going in?

Yes you do need a secondary fixing for IVA, get them in the right position for the IVA man then drill straight through the upright and mushroom and tap it M6 - from the rear there should be enough room. Put in an m6 bolt. Post IVA turn the mushies to where you get the feel you want then do it again. I've had a mushroom come out, luckily while going slowly round a left hand turn with my daughter in the car. It was an eye opener at the time so always make sure you have a bolt through there just in case. Regards........AndyH

Please forgive me if this is a dumb question but is there a reason they're not symetrical.

As far as I know it helps with the self centering along with other settings (caster,tyre pressures)
