thing is though, there are so many otehr things that it can affect if it's wrong it could end up being more dangerous ith it self centreing that it not, you've got to think about ackermans steering principle as well as the angle the wheel will go through when it's turns if you offset the strut too much which could lead to much less stability going round a corner

if there is a known setting for this with the parts that are fitted then it would be better to get it set up based on that and then tweak it to suit his purposes, at least it won't be too far from factory settings so a bit of spannering can get it back ot basics again

it's either been set up to run at a specific requirement by the person who's set it up or it's been set up based on incorrect settings, i can't see soemone deliberatly misaligning the susnepsion
