Default links and squatting

i understand that altering link legnth changes camber and toe

But what does altering the position and height do ?

also how on my firestorm do i change the anti squat (if i can) to change to toe in you change the pivot blocks to give varying degrees of toe does this affect anti squat aswell ? and when should it be used ?

cheers

this might be a stupid question, but changing the rear pivot blocks will this affect the anti squat ? and at the same time toe in ?

Changing the rear hub carriers will not affect the anti-squat.

If by pivot block you mean the thing where the inner hinge pins for the wishbones go through they will only change antisquat if the angle of the hinge pin is changed. If the angle stays the same, obviously your antisquat won't have changed,

yes i mean the two blocks which hold the hinge pins in place on the t bar the create an angle like this / \ but not as extreme will changing this affect the anti squat ?

what im curious to find out is because of this / \ i have toe in on the rear wheels but altering this angle will also alter the toe on the wheels or am i wrong ?
