The emergency room........

Rear mounted caliper will load the axle then, in the direction that the tire is rotating. So will a front mounted caliper. In the case of a torque arm type setup with the outboard links mounted vertically at axle centerline, for example, the rear mounted caliper would load the tire and front mounted would unload it......in theory. I'm curious about this.
