Another factor may be durability too. Much easier for a tech to mangle an aluminum knuckle than an iron one. Had a mechanic I trusted on my BMWs absolutely wreck a front knuckle trying to get a ball joint out. I don't go to him anymore.

Forgot if it was this vid but there was one where a GR staff was explaining about the rear trailing arm bushing having some compliance for toe out during compression (ie when loading up or squating). Not sure if there is difference in compliance of this bushing between the twins.
The Supra does this too. Explains why it’s harder to hold a slide on the GR. Most people don’t like it on the Supra. It makes initiation of the slide very easy but it does make it more unpredictable.
