track bar - drag link angle

[skyhigh4by]

My springs a really really soft, I have crossover steering, and I drive a lot on very old beat up uneven highway so Im adding a track bar to keep it going a little straighter and calm the bump steer.

I know that best case scenario is drag link and track bar are equal length and parallel. I can get them pretty close but I'm wondering what effects might I get if the track bar is actually slightly flatter angle than the drag link?

Objective is to get is parallel but I don't think a couple degrees will hurt. It's when a drastic difference is where it makes a difference.

When I did my front links I set the tierod up then I clamped 3 feet pieces of flat angle iron to the rotor, as I cycled the suspension I measured the difference between front of the angle iron to front and the rear to rear. Maybe you can cycle yours with a similar technique and figure out the bumpsteer

Bump steer is what you get.

But a couple degrees is not much dufference
