Hello,
now that we KNOW that they're supposed to be bent slightly, it's
easy to make up some good reasons for doing so. ..If we assume
that there is a "BEST" angle for the kingpins to sit relative to
the ground, and knowing that these parts came from the available
parts bin... ..
The bend also lowers albiet ever so slightly the center of
gravity of the car itself as an aid in handling, .. AND changes
the angle at which the "power unit" (engine + transmission) feeds
into the differential, again facilitating the use of "off the
shelf parts.....
but then again, I don't KNOW anything and am pulling all this
right our my a#$!.
