For the engineering geniuses here...

The toe arm (#1) runs forward and is curved outwards. So if the suspension compresses, camber becomes more positive but I can't explain what happens to cause the rear to start to toe out or in.

Versus the E9X which has the toe arm (#13) at the rear of the hub so use the suspension compresses, that link should elongate and push the back of the out creating toe in?
