I hope it's understandable... If not, please ask and I'll try to explain it in a different way.

@BJ: As the new C-Hubs and steering knuckle allow more steering throw the mounting holes on the steering knuckles are further forward to prevent wobbling at maximum steering throw. To keep the ackermann effect the same the holes have to be further forward aswell.

Cheers
