If the side links are both level shouldn't there be no rear steer? The effective length of each link would change at the same rate as the car rolls. Or are we talking about two different things?

BTW the website says "The new rear pivot is ultra light and easy to replace when/if broken. It uses a milled nylon 6/6 block and a TC4 shock bottom ballcup together with low profile hex ball." So you are right about what the pivot is.
