Fujimi 1/20 McLaren MP4/6 rear suspension Help nee

[Deleted]

I'm currently working on the rear suspension of the Fujimi 1/20 McLaren MP4/6, and I'm completely stumped on how to proceed with the build. Each side has 3 separate suspension components, a upper A arm, a Lower A arm and one alignment rod (?). The top A arms seems to position itself as perfectly square to the trans, but the two other pieces have no real correct positioning that I can see, and thus has a tremendous amount of flex.

How do you position these components for proper alignment? Do you glue them up now, or leave them as is until the wheel, hubs, etc are called for and installed?

Thanks for any and all help.

I'm working on the same car now but haven't gotten to the engine/tranny yet. I'd say get the hubs ready and use them as a guide for placement. DON'T just "glue them down" without knowing proper alignment with the hubs. You'll regret it later.

EDIT: Oh, crud. I didn't see the date of the OP. Sorry...

Not a problem. Still good advice. I have one yet to build too.
