SusProg3D - Suspension by Design.
===================

Thanks to all of those who made comments and suggestions.

In no particular order.

Updated driveshaft configuration.

For those suspension types that use the driveshaft as a suspension link it is now possible to specify the driveshaft as "Fixed length driveshaft (top lateral link)" or as "Variable (splined) or "Variable (plunging joint)".

When the driveshaft is specified as "Fixed length driveshaft (top lateral link)" the driveshaft will act as the top lateral link.
This is the typical arrangement for Jaguar and Corvette rear suspensions.

When the driveshaft is specified as "Variable (splined) or "Variable (plunging joint)" then the driveshaft will not take suspension loads, and a separate top lateral link is required.

Thanks to Toni and the Finnish Corvette community for this one.
Upright camber shims and steering

When upright camber shims are used, and they also adjust the steering arm, then this is now noted in the steering results.

Thanks to Jan for this one.
Dynamic parameters

The dynamic parameters now include a Vehicle or Custom option to determine the input data. This provides a clearer distinction between using the current vehicle parameters, and bespoke "what if" parameters.

Thanks to Rupert for this one
Undertray

Fixed up the names on the undertray input.

Thanks to Ian for this one.
Wheel spacer

Added a wheel spacer.

Thanks to Roy for this one.

V4.86B adds the following

Fixed a problem with calculating the antirollbar motion ratio when connected through a bellcrank with a large offset.
Also fixed up the link autocalc option.
Thanks to Russell for this one.
Corrected the display of the graphic coordinates (using left mouse button click) into the user specified axis system .
When reading a data file some values were not read in. Fixed.
