Sorry Ron, I only recently had an opportunity to lay under a spring plate car and move the suspension through a full arc. I knew the plate was slightly twisted under load but did not realize how much it twisted during travel of the full arc. My idea was completely unusable and now I see what you were trying to tell me. I suck at geometry and didn't understand the forces you were trying to convey.
