Some of us have been discussing the 914 rear suspension offline and I measured my toe curve yesterday. I figured I'd share it with the club for discussion.
The axle height scale is in inches and the zero is with the arm level. Attached image(s) |

That is some impressive math and I am sure the results are correct for the input you used, but the inputs are wrong. The trailing arm pivots in a different axis. You also don't account for anything other than a single plane view. The semi trailing arm axis is located in a 3D plane. It will change toe because the trailing arm moves in an arc in two planes. Does the suspension based on your numbers gain camber? If so how can it change toe?
