<p>It is interesting that in the top picture, there are extra ties added to the doors to stop them flapping and letting in road muck. Is that a common problem?</p>

<p>my Phaeton had something very similar.....not as pretty looking but it worked very well....</p>

<p>came from "Japspeed" for a Subaru but just about right with a couple of welded brackets, these are top arms. Price wise pretty good.</p>

<p>Ok, I can see that. Presumably providing the amount of adjustment is small it should not adversely stress the bushes. </p>

<p>I agree that it is a beautifully built car and loads of time and enthusiasm must have gone into it. But the builder (not you I hope?) needs to learn a bit of geometry.</p>
<p>The wishbone is basically a triangle and if you alter even one part of it, you affect all of it and create a different triangle, so in this case any adjustment will distort the wishbone and also put the bushes out of line, potentially increasing stresses and wear.

It is only a small amount and the components will probably stand it, but it is bad practice.</p>
<p>To make it work properly, and also easier to adjust, it needs parallel threads and spherical joints.</p>

<p>Paul,</p>
<p>Yours must have been built with a massive amount of negative camber if you need to move the top wishbone out. The more common complaint is there is not enough negative camber certainly on later cars. Whilst the wishbone in the picture has been nicely made the engineering/design is not all that, as JD has already pointed out.</p>
