Reply to "New top front arms"

Thanks Johnny.
I'd like to ask you a question regarding the top arm modifications you have made.
How much did you shift the upper ball joint rearward?
And, when doing so, did you find the lower ball joint getting very close to its maximum angle?

My stock top arms had 6mm shims & i've shifted the ball joint back a further 10mm.
So the ball joint is pushed back a total of 16mm, (like having 16mm shims).
When I assemble I find I'm very close to the lower ball joints maximum rearward angle.
This is with the suspension at full droop.
I haven't popped the boot off of the lower ball joint yet to see if it's housing has a slotted hole surrounding the tapered pin.
(Some ball joints have more angle toward the centre position).

regards,
Tony.
