You know, my subconscious works on these things while I'm sleeping (which came in handy during grad school!), and I realized this morning that the chassis flex allows the axle to "wind up" for lack of a better term. Now tossing 4WD into the mix messing things up a bit, but I understand conceptually what you're saying.
Also, I tend to over think everything.
