Re the ackerman pos I think your right. Ballstud inside hole gives more lock on the inside wheel relative to the outer. Inside wheel gets you into the corner but once the weight transfers to the outside wheel, it then takes over the steering duties. So if your struggling mid corner you want the ballstuds in the outer hole and if struggling getting into the corner then the balls go on the inside. Spacers behind the ballstuds makes sense although I'm not yet familiar with 502 geometry. I think we're barking up the same tree. We cant both be wrong. (lol, maybe we can?)
