I promised to do a bit of analysis - or a literature search on loads in UCA/LCA. These two fellows did this already for the Formula SAE, so why re-invent the solution set?
The loads in the UCA are pretty much 50% of the LCA.
The "Rpr" is a Toe Control Member they included in their analysis.
Here is a link:
It's a pdf so you can keep for reference.

I love the math!! I need to sit down with it and really digest it. I appreciate you posting it.

DAZE -
No worries and thanks. When I have a bit of spare time - I might try and build an Excell Spreadsheet - so we can vary the angles of the UCA/LCA and include "real weights," e.g. corner weights and a load that you can vary for side force (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 g).
That will be really useful. They also included a .page on buckling - but for now I thought this is a good start for most of us.
