Same answer I gave you on the other forum.....
I don't think I would try to second-guess the professional engineers who designed this arrangement in the first place.....not unless I was also a mechanical engineer.

I will include a link to the two best suspension books I ever read though.....I buy used to save some sheckels…..

Also, probably one of the best chassis and suspension engineers that I ever read was a fellow named Billy Shope, who called himself the Philippine Cowboy. He was one of the original Ramchargers, a team of Chrysler engineers who fielded a 1949 Plymouth coupe in C/Gas back in the late 50's, a car called The High and Mighty.

I had links to Billy's writings and formulas at one time, but have lost track of them. He hung around on Hotrodders for many years, but I have not seen anything of him in the past few years. I think maybe he moved on to that drag strip in the sky.
