Here is a shot of the front of the chassis. Notice the lengths of the control arms. The is what is called a long arm/short arm system. The upper arm is shorter than the lower arm so the wheel cambers in as it travels up. Also, notice the steering arms are mounted right in line with the upper control arm. That is to minimize the bumpsteer. We have all but eliminated the bump steer in this chassis.
