Presumably the tolerances are all slightly different on each car and you need the fork to grip the wishbone bush tightly.
I’ll post a pic of when my rear subframe was apart in a minute

There is no way to know. Suggest you install them as close to equal dimensions in front and behind the bush and then have the geometry set.

Thats what I did.

Thanks a lot for your help. It was also my first idea....
I will look for a good garage near me, because all are not able to set a perfect geometry on this kind of sport car.

Done via PM, have a pair prepped and awaiting postage details (don't know if you want one or two).
I'm not wishing to step on toes but not certain what the correct protocol is here.

I haven't received a pair of sockets purchased from @2b1ask1. As he's a long term member does anyone know what to expect from him? Is an indefinite wait and no communication normal?

The sockets were discussed via PM and paid for on 4th Jan. I had said there was no rush, however, all PMs since payment have gone unanswered. Despite polite enquiries I've heard nothing nor received anything.

Newton, if you see this, would you either send the sockets or return the payment. Thanks.
