Va and negative G´s

Hello!

This is my first post here so I hope you can help me out. I was reading the handbook for my student plane, a pa28 and started to wonder about one thing.

I noticed that the maximum g loads for the aircraft are about +4 and minus 2 and the manouvering speed is about 110 knots. That means that I can deflect any rudder fully to any direction without damaging the aircraft.
But if I push the elevator to fully forward position at the Va speed. Will I not overload my aircraft over the maximum -2 g limit at the Va speed?. I imagine that the g-loads should be more than -2 at 110 knots and a fully forward elevator.
Thanks for all your answers.

Best regards Uffe
