I looked back at early posts looking for a pic of whole vehicle to get a VIEW that entailed the whole side picture--IF, this is cut off at the forewall area and rerouted the frame rails, they could also be narrowed as the go forward-- could be a very good looking vehicle---
Roger----with hairpins-----the axle does not rotate----it swivels up and down as a unit-- the hairpin is and works as a single solid piece,---
With hairpins, there is quite a bit of binding with the travel either end of the axle because the original suspension design was a triangular arrangement this didn't occur but splitting the wishbone and moving the arms out to lower the cars caused a severe binding---the use of surplas aircraft heims helped some(at least the quit breaking off the mounts)
The use of parallel 4 bars helped this but didn't solve it.
Remember that as a person looks at suspension , you have to keep in mind that the wheel does not go up and down , but the vehicle does--
with that being said----camber doesn't change on a beam axle---
