"the spec is +1/2 at curb so that it will be ~0 at design. That makes sense to me"

spec per manual is laden, what does 'design' imply ... .5g's lateral?

I rarely hear of oversteer problems with fwd, usually the opposite. so built in understeer seems contrary.

both arms are near parallel stock, relative to ground, pivot to pivot. IIRC. The upper is shorter, hence bump neg camber change. early 900 had no bars, and rolled excessively. so +camb logical for outside tire, but inside tire is really sacrificed. and not clear that gross body roll doesn't balance out any neg camb induced by suspension compression, negating need for initial +camber.

s-bars helped in mid 80's, but camber spec did not change. all (exc lowered spg) had a max of 1.0 deg positive ..

----------

The 9-3 front has a 2 piece lower control arm, with lots of soft bushings. Abbott Racing developed an effective kit for hard chargers.

I'm usually against poly/stiff suspension bushings, except for track use (me), or for cases where power has been bumped way over oem ... there some poly in the control arms helps drag type starts.

thanks for your professional input.
