    can anyone answer this
     
  4. Length is not so much the issue. You want the rear mount of the radius arm as close to the steering arm (with steering centered) as possible so that the steering link and radius arms travel in the same arc. The more differance, the more bump steer. You also want them as close to parallel as posible.
