Man this site pulls some great information together!

Great video thanx! Does forced weight upon a suspension apparatus moving upon a constant direction (test dyno wheels) test more than articulation though? Not sure this would reflect the forces upon a vehicle actually on a road moving through turns and result in accurate handling data. I'm sure one of you folks will educate me. Yaw of the chassis through a turn would cause different alignment relative to direction center to the mass.

This kind of highlights why I like Oem parts. Most aftermarket companies don't through anywhere near this kind of testing.
