The Front suspension

[les g]

WHOA.........GUYS......
You are all missing the point.....
The reason maxi balljoints are used in this car is............
they are designed to take the load that way .............
thats why you should not use other types
on a maxi the the suspension was on the lower arm
in effect trying to push the arm away from the upright...............
the maxi ball joint is designed especially for this purpose..if you used any old b/j tthey would fail quite quickly..

on a normal car (as we know them) the springing/suspension pushes down on top of the upright..

Hope that clears up this point chaps
