On the page, it says that due to the lower suspension arm being
shorter, the angle of the wheel changes a tiny bit with suspension
travel. I'm having trouble imagining which way the wheels would tilt,
but could this be adapted to provide significant tilt that evens out
the sideways shift of the wheel center as the suspension travels?
(I tried it before briefly, but without much success.)
Another idea - could one use the rotation of the axle that
holds the suspension arm to move the suspension in/out, to
where the wheel does not move sideways at all, without
tilting it as above? (On a non-steering axle of course - changing
steering arm lengths would be a bit much)(For 8880-size vehicles,
really, as the sideways travel isn't so bad with the limited
suspension travel of a small car.)
