Quote: Also, the claim that all the load of the front suspension isn't supported forward of the firewall is wrong. Draw a free body diagram of the lower control arm, looking at it from the front of the car. the lower control arm mount point (LCA bushings) react all the vertical and side load on the tire. this gets transferred to the car in the K frame mounts....ahead of the firewall.
I'm with Patrick on this one. Most of what E-berg says in his magazine reply I agree with. However the loading on the front sub structure is identical between the two suspensions. If you have never drawn a free body diagram this may be difficult to accept.
