Smitty, you're following me. The upper ball joint is in front of the lower. Exactly backwards of what is correct. Then to dial in enough caster, it puts the steering arm on a hellatious angle. The tie rods go thu all sorts of girations when you turn rite or left.I've looked at every suspension book I have and have never seen a spindle designed in this way.As far as anti dive, that is supposed to be built into the mounts of the upper control arm, the M11 has this at around 3 degrees(?) You could shim the upper mount in the front bolt hole to put in more anti dive. But all this is moot, untill sumbuddy can tell me why the ball joint adapter is assbackwards.Every spindle I looked at has the ball joints rotating around the same axis.
