That's a big question. mathematically, it's the theoretical point of convergence
for each of the control arms. It's distance from the CoG has a dramatic effect http://www.racingaspirations.com/suspension-jacking-forces and it shouldn't
move around too much when the suspension is working. There's plenty of info
on the internet from people far more qualified than me... Even on this site.
