Wishbone suspension design

Hello everyone.
Ricola, a double "A" arm suspension design using the stock VW steering is madness.
Why go to the trouble of designing something that you think will work, then try and use something that clearly WILL NOT work.
The whole front end should be designed as a unit.ALL the parts have to work in unison.
Think of the bump steer you are designing in.
There are certain "musts" as far as suspension systems are concerned, with w/bones the inboard mountings of ALL the moving parts(upper bones/lower bones/steering arms) MUST be aligned.
Look at the arc of the long arm on the VW box setup.
Look at the arc of the arms on the pic you have posted.
It should be obvious it won't work.

Sorry my first post is a negative one, but this is a serious mod that has to be thought out properly.

Cheers,Ross.
