draglink location and affects

[kenre]

What sort of pros and cons are there in relocating a draglink forward or rearwards from standard position. This is on a car with steering gear located forward of the axle line?
Standard is with the draglink located behind the outer tierod ends by several inches.

That'll change your Ackermann, and your toe vs bump curve.
