Simpler way to attach this part?

[SNIPE]

hi,

I have just finished making the front for my F1 car and for my rollcage car but I want to have the wishbones in the same orientation and distance from the grey technic rings but cant seem to find a way of doing it that keeps the whole assembly (excluding tires and rims at a height of 3L.

In the attached LXF file you'll see that I put them as close as I could to the grey technic rings but the connections are too tall (5L).

However I need the wishbones to be able to still achieve their maximum amount of pivot so nothing should block them

Note that the wisbones cannot twist sideways they can only move up and down and since I'm using the wishbones that the technic Enzo has I need to use the end hole which is closest to the grey technic rings.

You can get the LXF file Here, any ideas I will test out and reply back.

what is actually supporting the differential in your model, I cant see any support at all, the UJs go right up to the diff. I did think of a way by using 1x3 thin liftarms either side and perpendicular connectors sandwiched between the 5x7 frames but then noticed you had no diff support.

The steering hub which isnt in Ldd and the hole neer the diff ( its square and the UV joint goes right through.)

I made a solution by using the holes on the front and back of the grey rings but I cant think of a way to get the white suspension box where one of the 3L liftarms are (next to the yellow bushes)

I can fit the white box in but when I link the spring loaded hole up to the wishbones it is too bulky as it limits the steering.

Could you have a arm that is connected to the bottom wishbone and then have the spring block on the other end? (It would almost look like a shock absorber.)

Possibly, the problem is since the spring loaded hole is in the middle and the wishbone holes are on the top and bottom when they both rotate the arm that connects the spring loaded hole to the wishbone is misaligned as if has a different rotation since its higher up than the bottom wishbone.
