When the car is under power, the wheel is trying to pull the car forward, the brace would be under compression if it runs from outside rear to inside front. Seems to me that it doesn't really matter which way round it goes??

Anyone for a X brace
 
This issue has confused the heck out of me :confused: :confused:

I may see if I can get the wishbone run through some Ansys software at some point.

Was it not Newton who said " For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction "

Anyone for a X brace :D :D

I would have to say it depends on what creates the biggest force is it braking or acceleration? whichever one it is then that is the one that needs to place the crossbrace in compression.
this is only my opinion and im happy to be proven wrong with a valid explanation,
I still say that bonzo's pic ties up with the writing in the book amendments and is how mine are currently fitted.
