eh? I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this, where is the axis of rotation? I thought michael ghia was right, but if he's not...

See I thought that because the trailing arm was well rigid I thought the motion was with in it's path thus as the arm moved up the arc of the path pulled the end of the arm towards the center of the car.

I fail to see how the arms motion could be along an axis other than this, unless there was binding, and okay I see that there could be some binding but not a lot. but to move away from this axis to provide positive camber is hard to see.
