However I don't totally agree with your explanation for this.

First of all, we are talking about the suspension upright control. It can not rotate. The wheel rotates because it sits on a roller bearing. The suspension works the same way whenever the wheel rotates or it is stopped.

Yes ...
I have to agree I got that wheel rotation thing wrong. I have edited my post to better (I hope) make my point.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
