 Hi!

I ordered a set of bushings for my front lower wishbones. As it turned out the rear ones are 10 mm lower than the original. This will aim the angle of lower pivot point slightly upwards. Should increase caster hence increase the anti-dive. Slightly!



Or am I thinking this the wrong way? Is the anti-dive lesser since it's the lower arm pivot tilt adjusted upwards? Anyone been there, done this?





I'll most certainly need to adjust the toe-in...

 Hi Fenchie, this subject has been well covered on this forum by myself, bdethrick and others.

Can I suggest you shim the bush housing (10mm alloy flat barstock is excellent, drilled with clearance holes for the M14 and M12 screws) to maintain the designed and homologated suspension geometry, rather than embarking on experimentation.

Regards
G

 Frenchie, here's a link - Click Here -

It may be easier to replace with a new Citroen provided wishbone if you don't have facilities to make the shims.

I used 40mm x 10mm T6 barstock - available from many internet sellers.

Regards
G
