Wishbones at funny angles?

Do the front wishbones of a car have to be setup at 90 degrees to the direction of travel?

Or can they be setup like this: ?

(The angle is slightly exadurated!)

They are like that on some of the GT40 replicas.

You can just about see it in this photo if the link has worked.

Cheers,

I wouldn't recommend it on front wheels unless the mounts are parallel to the wheel otherwise you will get tow-in/out effects.
Some racecars have the rears set so that as they load up, they actually steer into corners.

you can get away with it better on stiffish springs.
