So using the short hole on the knuckle creates a shorter "castor link", thus a smaller radius of the sphere. A smaller sphere has a more curved surface, therefore you get more castor change when the suspension gets compressed = more reactive castor.

So much for geometry. How much reactive castor you want still remains to be determined at the moment.
