The diagram is exaggerated for illustrative purposes. Trust me, it happens. It was particularly bad on the 350Z. Wheel hubs flex. On my 350 I actually had to replace them semi-regularly after I switched to StopTech's BBK (annoyed the heck out of me too). It doesn't matter where the calipers are mounted, I don't see the relevance of whether or not our calipers are on top. That diagram could just as easily be a top-down view with the calipers mounted in the 9 o'clock position.
