built some ball joint spacers to correct the steering/suspension geometry, went a different route from the few styles out there, a little beefy but peace of mind is key

Sorry Alex, that design isnt actually going to lower the ball joint bud. it will only make the lower arm angle down more.
The spacing needs to be on the top of the ball joint to effectively raise the centreline of the front axle.
Job looks to be of you usual top standard tho.
I also notice that you've seam welded your control arms.. Nice! I'm going to do that with my Mk1 too if i ever get around to working on it again.. haha. :duh:
It took me a second to suss out.. But roccodingo is correct. :)Quote:
