Chris, A new straight rear cross member was made up and the arms were fabricated and joined onto cut down stock rear arms and axles. The arms were camber adjustable and toe adjustable. But can only move vertically due to both arm pivots being connected to a straight cross member.
This means there is no camber change with body roll and the arm moves vertically with relation to the floor pan under all circumstances. As the load increases, the wheel rises further into the arch but camber does not change. The wheel contact patch is full width on road at all times. More like a live axle tyre behaviour but still independent. Cornering ability is excellent and considerably enhanced as there is no toe change either.

Oh I see you converted from semi to full trailing arm... sounds like a lot of work. Did you fabricate trailing arms or use them from another car? Wouldn't the camber change under roll pretty well destroy the cornering? Or was it a straight line machine?
