Yeah, that was a typo on my part. I meant to say forward instead of aft.

Only the lower arm was moved forward, so it rolled the tie rod attach point on the spindle slightly up and back. To visualize this, get two pencils and tape them together like a cross. Then, place them between your two index fingers and then move the lower finger slightly forward. If I moved both lower and upper control arms forward an
equal distance, the tie rod attach point would be moved forward because the spindle moved the same distance.
