In fact, some of the 60's Grand Prix cars used a front suspension set-up
where the upper suspension arm was cantilevered, ie the arm extended inwards
from the inner pivot, and the spring was then attached below this.  Although
not quite the same as your linkage setup, it is similar.  So your model is
not so unrealistic after all!

Oh, by the way, I've also spent a great deal of time poring over your models
in the past, looking forward to the next one!

Cheers,

Neil
