I'm currently working on the rear suspension and I got a question to ask you guys.

For the rear I'm using the front suspension arms and, hubs and uprights of the TRF201. I'll use the turnbuckles that normally are for the steering to set up the rear toe angle.

I could use the front suspension as intended, but it puts the turnbuckles of the steering exposed to impacts on the rear of the car. I'd like to turn the uprights around to get the turnbuckles in front of the axles. However, this also puts the rear axle in front of it's steering/pivoting point.

Normally this would cause bad handling, but I was wondering if this also applies when the rear wheels don't steer (apart from perhaps a tiny bit of bump steer)?


Here's a picture of what I mean...
