That's what I meant--the point that the linkage attaches to the bar. I
always use sliding links on my roll bars so I can adjust them. I find they
are a critical adjustment once you get everything else dialed in, and small
increments make a difference. Of course if everything else is screwed up the
problems mask any setting.
I've finally settled on a progression for working on suspension. First
eliminate the bump steer. Then get your toe and camber right, then find a
good tire pressure, then play with the roll bar. Lather, rinse, repeat on
the last three.

This statement got me ... Bill, you must mean moving where the link attaches
to the bar closer to where the bar pivots on the frame, right ?
To me, the "bar mounting point" would be where the bar mounts to the frame
(or extension) ...
Sometimes it's a shame we can't send drawings through the list. I know
there's a good reason, but it's a shame all the same.
