Does it look like all or just most of the ackerman has been removed?
My opinion on wheel clearance is, if he is running the same ride height as before fitting the new knuckles and he had zero problems before, then he won't have any probs now. Surely its a no brainer. My coilovers have the same bump and droop at whatever ride height they are set at.

If they changed the KAI then they changed the scrub radius as well. My question is, they changed it to what???
Personally I wouldn't wanna remove all the ackerman angle. That's kinda important to keep.
Think a little more about what they did with those knuckles. It surely isn't a "no brainer".

After reading the first post in this thread I realised that problem had come from lowering my trackrod ends in the psm knuckle mod fashion. I had pushed the tie rod and lower arm a long way out of sync.
I have since made rc correction parts to drop my lower balljoints 50mm, the same as I had dropped the track rod end.
Now the arms sit parallel to each other and also parallel to the ground. The bump steer issue has virtually gone completely and my car handles really nice.
At the back of the car I have godspeed lower arms, which lower the balljoint about 25mm and also rigid mounted subframe with riser bushes. So I have got aroung 35-40mm of rc correction in the rear of the car.
This is all I can do until I have access to corner scales and can determine c of g.
But some positive progress for me, iam mostly happy now.

Pics of your roll center correction please...
I think you may have gone too far on the rear roll center correction at least though.

Yes the traction rod and the toe arm will affect things but not by much. The toe arm should be treated the same as the tie rods and the traction rods should be treated ina simialr manor as tension rods.
That's just my opinion

That is exactly how you determine rear roll center to the best of my understanding...
