Front wishbones vertical alignment
Hi!
I searched the forum and found nothing regarding this matter:
How do I align the top and bottom front wishbone?
I found this picture somewhere. Is this ok?
Thank you for the help.

Here's the jig I used...

I got the 22mm (25mm with wide track wishbones) with a plumb line through the top wishbone threaded part.
HTH,
James

What do you mean by "how do you align them?" Do you mean physically or conceptually? If you mean physically, it means screwing one rod-end
further in, and backing the other one out. The goal is to move the outside end of the A-arm toward the front or back of the car. For proper caster,
you want the upper A-arm to be toward the back of the car and the lower one toward the front. The 5deg listed is okay, but a little on the low side.

If you want to use symetrical suspension pickups, this drawing may help
