For whoever was asking about Ackerman positions.

forward hole=least amount of Ackerman. Ackerman increases as you move the ball stud rearward.

More
(Bigger difference in steering angle between the two font wheels) More Ackermann makes the steering more consistent, and smoother.
It just feels right, also at low speeds and in tight turns.

Less
(Smaller, or no difference in steering angle between the two font wheels) Less Ackermann makes the steering more agressive at high speeds.
The car turns in more agressively.
It doesn't work well when either traction or cornering speeds are low.
