Default removing stuck car wheels.

It does this under normal conditions.


Indeed. With an unequal length wishbone suspension it also - by design -
changes the camber angle - to try to keep the outer wheel more upright when
the car rolls when cornering. But what it *shouldn't* do - but will do if
the tie rods are the wrong length - is *steer* as the suspension moves up
and down.
