F1 wishbone construction, a closer look

[PVDL]

Sorry Brian, I am not allowed to send you a PM !!

[Punch]

what is the rope used for?

By the way, is this wishborn in the front suspension or in the rear suspension?

The rope is preventing the wheel assembly from flying around the track incase the wishbones break.

[humble sabot]

For those who get their pants all twisted up over reviving old threads you'll have to forgive me, but in an effort to find information on a similar topic I turned up this old gem, and have a question that remains unresolved:

Brian G, did you ever weigh this control arm? I'm curious what a range of mass we're talking about when seeing F1 level suspension elements.
