Tried making both axles so they had 4L CV joints with a female CV joint on both ends of each axle, but the female CV joint was preventing the wishbones from pivoting, and even though I used some recessed wheels, it was still 1L too wide on either side, for the bodywork.

I was hoping to keep the engine, but have steering, diff, and independent suspension on both axles..

Use the 6L suspension arms from the Senna creator build. They are thinner and will give more space to the CVs

I'll try that then, might have to upscale the bodywork but its way easier than up-scaling 42145 helicopter.

I luckily have the MP4/4 set, just dismantled. I also have 4 of the ball joints but the new mould where they are shiny not matte.

The problem is, the wishbones catch if we just brace them with say, a 3L beam on each side so I had to have rounded points which also had a pinhole and which allowed the CV joint to be 1L infront of the pivot point , but I also need space for the differential to be right up close AND I need points for the driveshaft gear, steering, and suspension.

Tricky but maybe possibleMy brain is mush today's so ill try again tomorrow.

3167 beam might be usable?  I don't know how wide you want the gap, but two of them with a pin-pinhole-pin part connecting them (where the diff bevel gear goes) would fit compactly around the diff.

 

[edit] oh right, the suspension arms have a 1l axle as the connection point.  That's a bit awkward to work with.  Maybe you could use 32054 to extend them so you have space for the diff gear, springs should be stronger than their friction.

Didn't tried, but 4L "high" version could be possible, if ballpins are connected with lipstick part.

this wouldn't fit inside of the rims from the creator expert porche 9¹1

Yes, that's true. Even 4L version. 

Then only legal connection for shock absorber would be somehow trough that axle end, with some lever attached to it.

Anyway, You won't get correct cv-joint connection for this setup.

I found a compact way to brace these wishbones, using part 98577, I put these all the way on the wishbones axles but they would fit into the technic system better by using half bushes on the axles first.

But I forgot that there's no way to mount the shocks to these wishbones, so now I'm back to 1.

The 5L wishbones and 6L wishbones will not work either for the same reason as the new 3L wishbones don't work.
