Wishbones & Washers

The first job on the chassis was to install the front wishbones, so using new top and bottom ball joints I started to assemble the wishbones and  uprights.
Using the donor shafts assembly was easy enough, caster angle is built into the chassis and by locating washers between the wishbone and chassis camber angle can be measured, moving the washers between front and back of the wishbone and the top and bottom wishbone changes the camber angle.
The camber needs to be between 6 and 8 degrees and the same for both sides so after a couple of attempts and moving the washers around this was achieved (7 degrees )
One thing I did learn was the chassis needs to be level the upright needs to be at 90 degrees  to the chassis and you need to check these every time you take a new measurment
