I saw that in the updated IVA Manual two and thought does that mean no more covering suspension items.
Then again i was going to do the IVA book and chuck pictures of mine up to get opinions as my indicators come halfway across from suspension.

no they haven't. I had to radius my shock absorber bottoms and spring "C" ring two weeks ago for sharp edges!
I'm now hacked off as reshaping the shockers is not a pleasent thing to do and difficult to maintain the asthetic of the units !

So that means no more radiusing shocks and springs and rubber boots, but presumerably still means that frame brackets have to be protected, along with
the outer end of the steering arm and ball joint, any camber adjustment in the top wishbone?
I still stand by the fat that if you’e hit by a wishbone you have bigger problems than a ball joint with no heat shrink over it!

Most stupid thing with the front end is, checking the brake calipers with the radius thing. You've got enormous problems as a pedestrian, if the
brake caliper radius is affecting you.

It is if the caliper protrudes outside of the wheel/tyre profile.
A straight edge, held vertically against the tyre, will show what counts and what doesn't. As the testing officer told me, anyhow.
Cheers,
