Litton (Corse) Front Suspension Question

[tipo158]

Corky,

Replace the top wishbones with some made from 1" CDS tube, the dimensions of the ones you have look fine.
The excessive castor issue you have is caused by the trailing link being too short, the TCA should fit perpendicular to the CL of the car & this should give about 5 degrees of static castor. Get a new trailing link machined or get the existing ones extended professionally but be aware that the diameter of the trailing link cannot be increased where it exits the chassis subframe at the front otherwise it will foul on full bump. Whilst you are performing surgery you could swap the trailing link ball joint to a rod end bearing.

Regards

I do have a rod end bearing on the lower arm (TCA), that is why it can move that far forward, if I still had the old bush assembly in there, I wouldn't have been able to attach the swing arm (trailing link). I'm a little confused about your comments "be aware that the diameter of the trailing link cannot be increased where it exits the chassis subframe at the front otherwise it will foul on full bump" Are you talking about the ball joint or the rod? I was thinking about cutting the rod in the middle, then sleeving it, then welding the sleeve to the rod.
