Is there a name for each link so they can be identified?

if the two on each side (drag link upper and lower?) are unequal length, then that would mean antisquat could increase or decrease through suspension travel, same as if the 2 links were not mounted parallel.

Then with the lower two wishbone links on each side, if these are unequal in length, or not mounted parallel, then the toe in will increase or decrease through suspension travel.

Then the top link, we all know what that does, camber change through suspension travel.

Then beyond that, with the movement of one factor, means other tie rods are twisting and so other factors become changeable through suspension travel even if not intended to be.

But with all this, id be completely lost. On paper it may mean a perfect setup can be acheived, but do we live long enough to find it practically? Seriously though.

On that animated picture above, links don't look to remain static in length through the animation, or is that just me?

Will you be running something like this at Belgium? I am intrigued by this, and impressed with your engineering and bravery mate.
