408 With Negative Camber

Thanks for the photos attached to your posting. I have been trawling through some of my photos from when I refurbished the front suspension on my early 410, with power steering. The two holes in the crossmember subframe do appear to be elongated, though I don’t remember them being so.

I would have thought with the forces involved in moderate to heavy driving, the two 1/2” fixing bolts to the upper wishbone where they pass through the elongated holes, would move. Therefore, I have to stand corrected on that point but I still can’t understand the logic, hopefully someone will enlighten me.

The fulcrum brackets on my early 410 (power steering) are exactly the same as per your second photo, 411 S5; perhaps the elongation of the holes in question only relate to cars with power steering.
