I have been trying to find out the correct ride height for Mini front suspension and spotted this in one of my collection of manuals.
Pretty much all I could find before were the hub to wheel arch setting dimensions for hydrolastic cars which isn't very helpful on the front of my Scamp.
What I needed was the designed height of the front suspension and these figures should give that. I realize these might not actually give the best handling but it will provide a good starting point and also allow me to position the trailing arm mounts right in relation to the front.
What I don't know is if the distances take into account the compression of the bump stop rubbers?
I found this diagram in an early Haynes manual and wonder if it is also in a proper workshop manual along with more detailed info.
Can anyone help ?
