Suspension tollerences.

[twinturbo]

I trial fitted the rear wishbones yesterday and confirmed what may be an issue.

They were a very tight fit, so much so that I had to give the bracket some attention with my engineers fettle.


Now I bought the chassis second hand all bracket/plated up so don't fully know it.

I took out my Micrometer tonight and had a measure.

Book shows suspension brackets as 44MM between internal faces. My brackets seem to be comming out at 42.5ish nearest the base plate.

Crush are spot on at 44mm
Wishbone tubes are comming up at 35.1ish
Bushes lip is ~4mm book is 4.5mm

so 4+4+35.1 = 43.1 ( bush + tube + bush ) so that comes up .9mm short.

however 43.1 is .6mm more than the chassis braket,
and the difference between the crush tube and bracket is 1.5mm


So....


Am I being over critical, they fit up fine with the bracket "EASED" .
