Yep. But for the phenomenon of jacking, it's the same physics whether it's the front of the car or the rear since we're talking about body roll.

Roll centers will be "all over the place" here as well. Just because it's on the front, doesn't mean the "problem" goes away.
But yes, vehicle dynamics is a consideration on every vehicle, which is why I don't like Robby's team pointing at one minor problem (in the grand scheme of suspension design) and saying "their cars suck, mine rules". You're making my point: there's a lot of design characteristics to consider and there isn't a "correct" suspension design as the goals can vary wildly.
For example, if handling balance for the everyday Joe is a consideration, causing dynamic changes in the elevations of the front and rear roll centers (roll axis) will cause a vehicle to be a bit rear balanced and can cause problems. Trailing arm rear/parallel link front arms will make it handle more like a "buggy" since trailing arms don't have great A/S and the front geometry's "all over the place" roll center will make the downward sloping (trends towards oversteer, all else equal) roll axis increase at a non-linear rate. There's a gazillion other things the chassis engineers can do to combat this, but in the end, that's the geometric balance, so anything you do will have some other knock-on effect elsewhere.
For guys like me, this oversteer bias is good. For idiot Joe Schmoe Arrive and Drive, this may result in a trip to Brawley. All in what you want. :biggrin:
And you know there’s absolutely no place for that!!!
