Right ok ive got the struts chopped.
Just to comfirm on castor, the top needs to be behind the bottom right? and aorund 5-8 degrees i believe?
Second with ackerman, its the line through the balljoint and steering arm that need to go to the center of the rear axle right?
If the steering arm is in front is the same line? in other words the steering arms are pointing out slighty or is it flipped so the arms are still
pointing in?
Cheers

cheers claire
have you read up on the subject much mate? i would recommend getting a book and studying it first. erm, there's one i got (can't remmeber
where it is) by a bloke called des someone (des hammil maybe) and its called buy to build and modify kit car and competition suspension and brakes or
something similar. my descriptions don't help much perhaps, but when i find the book i'll give it its proper title. its full of information
on uprights, castor, camber, ackerman, wishbones, brakes, i learned a lot from it. if i find it i'll scan you some of the pages on ackerman
its ok i know what ackermans is and what it does just wasnt quite sure on what it was when the steering arms were in front of the axle
Thanks anyway
cool 
i still don't really know what it is lol i never read that bit... my thinking was my chassis's already built, so are the uprights, i
don't really need to know lol
