Yes I am talking about the spindle arms.
Terminology is always grief in these discussions.
Radius rods, drag links, bell cranks, caster struts, wishbones, A arms, tie rods, king pins, and caster, camber, toein, king pin inclination, idler arm and a bunch of others. What a ZOO.
I'm comming from Automotive Classes I had 40 years ago, and being a mechanic with IH trucks, Ford, Nissan, Toyota, and Several independent shops.

We have it figured now.

The lean in of the spindle vertical shafts is equal to King pin inclination. this causes jacking of the whole front when turning (both sides). the effect is to cause self streightening of the system. (return to straight ahead)
The angle of the spindle arms from straight back, determine to a large degree how much each wheel turns at any specific angle of turn.

I love it. and I hope Your Hydro gets as much OOMPH forward as in reverse, for the price of a fitting or gasket.
