Sway bar bushings, endlinks, and any other arm that only moves in 1 axis is totally fine.
It does not move in just 1 axis.

On the 240s, the FLCA is also attached to the T/C rods, which are a fixed length whether you have adjustable or stock style ones. When the suspension compresses, the T/C rod will move along with the FLCA to control caster.

If your car is low, your FLCA will probably be pointed up, and by that point, when the suspension compresses, the T/C arm will swing up with the FLCA, which causes more positive caster as it moves up.

That translates to the FLCA moving forward as it's going up. That isn't 1 axis anymore, that's 2.

Your logic makes no sense.

If rocker panels aren't supposed to be filled in and they still rust, what is the matter with filling them in with CLOSED CELL FOAM that isn't supposed to trap moisture?

Even if it did get some moisture in there, the moisture will just evaporate like it would normally do in a non-foamed panel.

This isn't your every day foam, this stuff was designed as a structural foam that will expand and not bubble up, and when it hardens it becomes like cement. It is not like a sponge.
