Talking of suspension arms

[keithski122]

I saw this on instagram and to me the rose joints look to be fitted in such a position they wouldn't work or might work but be at the extreme of their angle.
Am I right?

I think that might just be rotated that way for the photo.
Or it's for something with very limited travel?

I'm taking it the picture is of a top down (or birdseye) view, it would work fine.

One of those is a swivel and the other replaces a metalastic bush, spherical bearings will work fine in either orientation.

That's a very similar shape to my Mk1 Audi TT lower arms, and they have one bolt vertical and the other horizontal where they mount into the subframe.

Dont think I have ever seen such a poorly designed wishbone.

Our Berlingo uses the same but on a big lump of cast steel, most cars with Mcpherson struts do it this way.

I've seen rubber bushed ones like this, just didn't think that rear bearing would take the angles needed from it.
