Not strictly true - the angle of the wheel is NOT determined by the angle of
the suspension upright.  The wheel is fixed at right-angles to the
driveshaft (except on roto-flex cars), so the angle of the wheel is
dependent on the angle of the driveshaft, and nothing else.  The suspension
upright should be able to pivot where it connects to the hub, although it's
usually pretty stiff.
