Correct. As more steer is introduced, the net axle bend (in relation to the track) decreases. A net 1 degree bend raises the front axle by .0065". That's less than 1/128".
IOW, we are making much ado about (next to) nothing. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif
*Fixed that for you. Unless, there is some sort of friction decrease in oiled surfaces brought on by pressure...
By the way, w/ a 1/64" gap, and an axle angle of 3 degrees in the rear, the rear of the car will be lowered by ~0.0008". So, if you drill your DFW to be a gnat's eyelash higher than 1/64", your car should be totally flat. Or something. /images/boards/smilies/wink.gif
I didn't realize that somehow this thread had snuck by me.
