Rear Control Link Lengths

[DJWalker]

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.
