I was just in front of my house testing long front links with a 2mm washer,arms parallel or very close.In the haste to change all that I forgot to place a shim on the right side and drove that way for 5 minutes,then put a proper setup.
Let's say there's a subjective unit of measurement for steering,Steerings that range 0-10.
The tires I have mounted have a theoretical capability of 10 Steerings.
Now lets break negotiating a turn in 3 parts,in,middle and out.
Link shorter than arm:
-with washers it felt like this: in=7 Steerings;middle=7 Steerings and out=3 steerings;
Notes:easy to drive and very stable under braking and steering,needed more high speed steering.
-without washers: in=7 Steerings;middle=5 Steerings and out=3 steerings;
Notes:latency after entering a turn,then hooks and turns normal.
Link as long as arm:
-with washers it felt like this: in=9 Steerings;middle=9 Steerings and out=7 steerings;
Notes:willing to turn and hugs the pipe,felt like I can make the rear step out on will.
-without washers: in=9 Steerings;middle=8 Steerings and out=5 steerings;
Notes:turns in very good but keep on pushing on its way out.Tames rear end.
