Does the CC&AR system provide perfect contact in every situation?

No, it is obviously impossible for any suspension system to take account of every imperfection in the road surface but CC&AR will naturally provide a predetermined average that is hugely closer to the ideal than any conventional suspension design...

...In fact, it is only during the lesser event of one-wheel bump that the CC&AR system is not able to improve upon the geometry of a conventional double-wishbone design.


Even without ARB's, the only time independent suspension is truly and fully so, is when viewed as a single isolated corner under theoretical conditions. I'm not aware of any conventional high performance suspension system that is able to do a great job isolating significant one wheel bump conditions from the other tires...So while SLA type independent suspensions may do the least bad job of this, I don't think it's as critical of a difference as it's often made to seem.
