Despite the wedge, my drag link is standard.
Yes, it went over centre once, but that was because I had removed the stops from the track rod arms!
With standard arms, the steering doesn't go over centre.
I'm not saying that you don't need a longer drag link, just that it depends on the geometry of your particular system.
Thinking of this, and nothing to do with the Highland Sports Coupe - presumably, when the track rod arms are bent to accomodate lowered front springs, that moves the position of the stops,
and increases the possibility of needing a longer drag link.
Having said that, Alice originally had a dropped axle, bent arms, steering wedge - and still didn't go over centre.
