Why is that? As long as the wheel is mounted in line with the centre of the
frame the same as the DSSA there would be no difference. OK so the weight of
the SSSA would be off centre but the effect of that would be completely
negligible. All the torsion would be within the structure of the SSSA itself
as it transferred the forces around the wheel.
