Stressbar discussion...

Nice explaination.

Ridiculous example relative to front camber change due to deflection though.
"If it deflects 0.42" you have lost a full degree of negative camber"
If it deflects .42" more than about 5 times the the strut tower is going to have huge cracks.
The likely deflection under this load is probably less than 20% of his example, so the camber change
would be less than 20% of 1 degree.
0.2 degree!

Also, this example has absolutely nothing to do with the analysis one would do for a rear stress bar
on a Scirocco.
