"Most of the dispute comes from the fact that the distance, from bearing to wheel hub is so short that the range of movement is so small as to be insignificant."

But people don't realise that it isn't just the bit of axle from the hub to the bearing that moves, that movement passes through where the bearing is and bends the axle on the the other side too.

As Simon says, document your changes for your particular chassis but if you change chassis, don't expect the same changes to work.

You will find that some people will say that different axles, torsion bars, seat stays, rims and side pod bars, make no difference.

Some people will say the changes make a huge difference.

But then some can drive and some can't and some improve and some don't, welcome to the black art of kart.
