A geometry thought:

There was talk about use of asymmetrically deforming bushings in the car. Do the geometry programs take bushing deformation into account, or would you have to manually offset the pivot points? Which would also vary by the amount of force, right?

Anyone out there want to code up an open source force-based suspension-geometry/FEA hybrid program? There are OS CAD and FEA programs that could be used as a starting point.
