IRS uprights
locoboy - 24/10/03 at 09:41 AM

Having got my new chassis and all the other bits and bobs, i need to sort out the wishbones and get them on.

the chassis came with a mix and match of wishbones (2 omplete rear sets), I beleive it is a book chassis, can anyone tell me the overall length from the centre of the bush tube to the centre of the other bush tube/rosejoint on the top and bottom bones? (rear ones) Im using sierra shafts and diff.

Also has anyone got a piccy of their irs set up without wheels and bodywork on? i need to check the location of the spacer, is it on the wheel side of the upright or the diff side?

would be nice to see a picture anyway if anyone has one handy.

Does the amount of castor on the rear uprights have any effect on handling, i wouldnt have thought it would as the wheels are not subject to the angles associated with steering like the front ones?

Cheers
Colin
