Detailed work for tuning - tuning wishbones!

A chassis connects the chassis of a vehicle with the roadway. A chassis includes the wheels, wheel carriers, wheel bearings, brakes, wheel suspension, damping, steering and suspension. Control arms are safety-relevant components that are subdivided into the sub-category of the wheel suspension in a vehicle. The function of the wishbones is to stabilize the wheels on the vehicle and to align them at the same time by counteracting the lateral forces. In this way, these components ensure the necessary stability when driving. They thus form the link between the wheel, brake, suspension and the body of the vehicle.

Wishbones in the tuning scene - what should be considered when buying and installing:

For enthusiastic tuners, lowering the vehicle is a good thing. However, it should be ensured that the wishbones already installed are dimensioned for the camber values ​​of a factory vehicle. The lowering changes the parameters with regard to the calculated camber height and the wishbones are accordingly often undersized for lowered tuning vehicles. Due to the function of wishbones, a wishbone that is too weak represents a safety deficiency which can lead to considerable damage and, in the worst case, to accidents. It is therefore advisable and essentially unavoidable to use the factory wishbones, especially when using one coiloverto be replaced by new ones that are tailored to the new condition of the vehicle, as there is no possibility to adjust the camber of the rear wheels with the factory-fitted wishbones.

pay attention to tuning components

In the case of wishbones for tuning vehicles, none of them should end up in the shopping cart that are off the peg and were basically developed for the vehicle in its original state. You should therefore make sure that the new components are as adjustable as possible so that the required headroom can be achieved again or can be adapted to the special needs of the vehicle. In addition, it must of course be ensured that the wishbones fit the desired type. The best way to do this is to go to the specialist workshop in order to obtain expert knowledge for the conversion and installation of new wishbones. As an additional source of information, a Audit authority (TÜV, Dekra & Co.), who are usually very affine in the subject. If a tuner would like to convert or install the new wishbone on their own, when buying it, it is essential to ensure that the components are corrosion and wear-resistant. Wishbones are wearing parts, the lifespan of which depends on processing and manufacture.

We hope that you have read the info report on the topic / term Wishbone (further names / keywords: Handlebars, wheel suspension, handlebar set, handlebar kit, camber adjustment, lollipop set, camber arms) from the field of autotuning.
