The rose jointed arms go from this to the wishbone, but that has the effect of adding toe out, as the outer edge stays parellel but the inner edge moves in an arc.
I knew this would result in some toe change, but its more than I expected s will need revision I think but until Ive driven it and tried it, I dont want to go making changes yet, as I dont actually *know* what settings and changes I want until ive seen how it reacts.
Its not that simple as the outer balljoint is at a different height to the bottom ball joint and to mount an equal length setup at the same height would have me mounting it somewhere I cant realistically get a mount to as the engine is in the way.
Yeah, lol
Right, i see, can't you change the height at the hub end?
Possibly put the ball joint on the top rather than the bottom, or make a simple adapter to twist it through 90 degree's and mount the rose joint the opposite way at the end of the hub carrier. (a picture would save a thousand words here). This would also reduce any toe-change as the hub carrier would essentially be longer as well.
