That would probably be considered undesirable flexibility and not sure of what advantage that would bring.Big Tea wrote: ↑21 Mar 2023, 16:34I wondered if there was any degree of flexibility there too.

Apart from its aero function the front suspension upper wishbone especially will in effect be quite angled (higher outbound) if you consider that the effective upper link inner pivot is much lower than front upper wishbone fwd leg attachment. AM have similar geometry.
The upper wishbone forward leg is beefier than the trailing leg probably because it’s seeing some bending loads—as would be expected if the inboard pick-up is a flexure—as well as side loads from cornering, not to mention the aero fairing around it. The trailing leg mostly sees tension from braking loads I would expect.
