Making up some adjustable rear wishbones as a winter job so I've removed my manufacturer made ones to find they have 4.3mm of what I think you would call 'twist' across the wishbone.
So when the wishbone is lying flat three of the bush tubes are sitting flat but one is raised by 4.3mm off the flat.
If you push this corner down it lifts the opposite one diagonal up off flat.
Both lower rear wishbones are the same.
So out of interest is this amount of difference acceptable in a wishbone?
Cheers


Description

I found mine twisted i put it down to braking forces
that was the front arm's
jacko

I would not sweat that, probally welding distortion.

It only affects the upright in a vertical plane which is catered for with the top bone.

I think mine are worse, and been on the car 17 years as arc welded
22k +
1500 miles this year

So long as they don't bind I would not worry... The forces from the weight/dynamics of cornering will be more than the twist...

Ok all thanks for the input

Hoping to get the ones I'm making bang on,but atleast I now know not to worry if I've got a couple of mm twist etc.
