Rear wishbones....HELP

[Jeze2903]

Hi
Does anyone have a plan view picture of the rear wishbones fitted to the chassis. My car is sitting wrong and after hours of measuring I seem to have one of the rear wishbones back to front.

Perhaps this picture will make the orientation a little clearer



This is the nearside rear wheel, photograph taken looking at the back of the car .

If memory serves me right, the book states that the single arm of the lower rear wishbone faces the front of the car.

sorry to be a stick in the mud ronnie you have that wishbone on backwards. the brace at the hub end should face forward.

I have my wishbones on the same as Ronnie, I was going by p74, there is a picture showing it that way round, am I wrong?

Oh bummer

Thats another re-read of the book

All seems to line up well. I can't remember if the wishbones are made symetrical or if they are made with an offset.

If they are symetrical I would assume that the placement of the wishbone is stress related.

On a brighter note, at least they are just test fitted

Unless I am mistaken the picture ( p74 ) is opposite to the text on p73.

EDIT. Check the Drg on page 10, arms are made symetrical if not you would need 2 jigs as upper front needs. Brace should be under compression when acceleration. Pic must be wrong. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOP's
