I read in another forum that there is a weight transfer due to chassis roll in addition to the centrifugal force weight transfer that we all design for. I had to explore this so I made the attached sketch. It doesn't appear to be significant for a performance vehicle but if you're designing a London double decker bus you might want to be aware of this.

Yes there is but as you found it's so small it should be ignored for simplicity.
