The KT link has softer bushings than the others? Even if so, I'm not sure that has an affect on suspension geometry, but I could be wrong. My understanding (from Frere's book) is that the radially soft bushing(s**) in the lower a-arm are what cause the dynamic geometry changes. I don't know the exact affect of the radially soft bushings, but I do know they're there. Perhaps it's to address the toe-out-when-braking problem.

** Frere says that ONE bushing is soft (I forget which), but it looks to me like both are soft.
