Yeah, I understand the theory. But if you look at extended ball joints for racing they come in 1/2”, 1”, even 1.5”. The difference between an A-body and FMJ spindle is less than 3/8”.
And here’s the real deal, the changes in geometry were all plotted out in that article. There’s no need to speculate about what might or might not happen, you can literally see the tiny difference in geometry that occurs from using the FMJ spindles, and if you want to apply theory then you can argue why that change is actually positive, depending on your set up.
The factory geometry was for bias ply tires, which use totally different alignment specs and benefit from different geometry than radials do. So just saying that maintaining the factory geometry is best is misinformed.
