Okay....camber curve being how camber changes versus bump in the rear (aka how much camber you gain as the suspension travels upward?).

And because of the geometry, as you travel upward, this changes both the camber AND toe?

So lengthening the traction rod casues the toe/camber change upon suspension travel to be smaller?

is that correct?
