John:
in the '60s, most independantly-sprung cars had some camber change (wheel
lean) as the suspension deflected-- like the Hammond lakester that just
rolled at Bonneville.
With more modern independant suspensions-- double-wishbones, in particlar--
it's easier to design the geometry to keep the camber relatively constant.

Subject: Re: roll center
My 60's British racing chassis design book says with independent suspension
,
the roll centers need to be low to minimize wheel lean during cornering
(chassis roll is bad but wheel lean is worse) - Says at that time the hot
setup was a low roll center that was lower in front . John
