Yes.

Yes.


Put these two logics together.

If the LCA does NOT move the entire assembly rotates on the lower ball join then.

If you don't agree with me on the location of the ball joint (red dot) then show me where you would like me to put it.


This is at -5 degrees. Look at the top of the suspension.



DAMN THE WHOLE CAR GOT LOWER. And the inside of the tire is at the same height.


Nice try guys.

Told you all so.

Maybe if some of you go outside and actually do this shit, you will see the above hold true.

Think of the front of the car and how it jacks up when turn your wheel as the camber goes positive.

plus if you look at the picture, it shows that it being on the edge of the tire changes nothing, yeah the out side edge of the tire is higher, but its not going to change ride height it will just tuck under the fender

Look at the wheel. The red dot you marked as the ball joint is still within the width of the wheel. and as long as its still within the wheel it means that the inside of the wheel is moving down. Also, the line you have representing the strut started out at an angle. When in actuality the strut in the car sits straight up and down at 0* camber unless you have a slotted mount, in which case it would sit straight up and down even with negative camber. This alone makes your drawing and measurements inaccurate. If you had started the drawing with the strut straight up and down the 5* wouldn't make as big of a difference in the overall highest point of the strut. And if you moved the point of the ball joint further into the wheel (like it actually is in real life), how much the lowest point of the wheel is moving down would be much more apparent.
