    Rear Control Link Lengths

    I’ve started to assemble the rear suspension. The manual says that the rear control links should be assembled and set up to initially be 18” and 10.125”. The long ones I have are too long to be 18” if measured from end to end. Is the measurement meant to be centre to centre? i.e. centre of each eye.

    I started with the measurements noted in the manual measuring center to center of the eye holes. I then adjusted them once the wheels were on and on the ground for a rough alignment.

    Thanks @blomb11

    I just wanted to make make sure I wasn’t doing anything stupid. Wouldn’t be surprised if I was using the wrong parts!

    No worries! I can’t tell you how many times I have put something together incorrectly just to take it apart again. Just part of the process of building a kit car I guess.
