Thanks for posting, I'd not looked at the setup closely in the past and it's very interesting and complex compared to more obvious double-wishbone or traditional strut suspension.

The idea of isolating the steering axis in limiting torque steer is pretty straight forward, it basically reduces leverage around the steering axis.

The impact on camber took a lot more thinking for me until I was finally realized the distance between the lower ball joints was fixed and that the outer pivot point was up at the knuckle not lower at the teeter-totter (outer) link.
