I've been thinking about making new rear top wishbones as I'm still not happy with the ones I currently have...

I've came up with two options..

Option 1.

Inboard Rose Joints with the shock mount inline with the upright, which I think would put less load on the Rose joints.




Option 2.

Rose joints outboard mounted directly to the top of the upright with inboard poly bushes. The shock mount will not be inline with the upright as option 1.The Rose joints will be 12mm reduced down to 10mm to suit MX5 upright. I'm guessing this will put a lot more load on the joints but will it be too much or Ok?



I'm using the Ultra strength 12mmx1.25 fine thread joints from McGill Motorsports.

Any input good or bad will be most helpful.
