It's hard for me to tell by the picture, but it looks like you might have
the wishbones on the right side reversed.  The front and rear wishbones are
not identical.  The one with more curvature goes on the front side.

Hi all
It's still snowing here in New Brunswick, but I hope to be on the road next
month!

I have just reinstalled the upper wishbones on the right side of the car. I
started the disassembly on the left side of the car and noticed that the
vertical link is not in line with the shock. Then I looked from one side to
the other, and see that the vertical link is tipped towards the front of
the car on the right side and towards the rear of the car on the left side!
Is this right? Pictures are on my website:

I am thinking that the left side is right from what I can see in Roger
William's book, but just want to make sure.

Thanks,

Gordon in New Brunswick, Canada
