Snap, I used a small trolley jack on mine.

Normally you can set up a job to allow for the weld to pull but not suitable for the wishbones, as said if you try to compensate at the jig stage, the bush tube will be out of line.

I'd be very worried if my wishbones didn't pull a few mm. This would indicate lack of heat in the weld

3-5mm perfectly normal i'd say

My bottle jack wasn't small enough to do small ends of wishbones so I just used my trolley jack.
