Open

• spherical face radial fixtures on both bearings

• Virtual wall where steering rod attaches to upright

• Forces in negative X will act on the protruded section of the upright where the spindle sits, and positive X acts on the recess where the spindle sits behind the upright, shown below

• Forces in Y and Z will act on the face of the dummy spindle that faces the UPRIGHT MODEL’S +z axis

• Moments act on the same face of the spindle that the y and z forces act on, but its important to have them act about the correct axis of the VEHICLE MODEL, where the x axis and z axis of the UPRIGHT MODEL are wrong (for some reason)
