On a trailing arm suspension the wheel will move front to back in the wheel well a bit during normal suspension travel. I don't think that the adjuster at the outer point will make much of an impact on overall position, though I do see how putting it inboard would make it move slightly less. My guess is it was positions on the outer point for easy adjustment in the DTM car.
If someone has really close clearance between the wheel or tire and fender lip, then moving the wheel around for alignment might cause a problem.
Of course the wheel also moves inboard/outboard when toe is adjusted at the inboard pivot, so that might actually be worse for fender lip clearance.

Originally posted by silnc View PostI did, they are +/- 1lb of stock These prototypes were made from thick DOM that we had in the shop. Future ones will be made out of chromoly so it can be thinner/lighter. Still not bad considering they're reinforced. It's really the knuckle that makes it heavy though.

Originally posted by The Dark Side of Will View PostThe suspension is at full droop. Look at the sway bar arms... they're level-ish at ride height. Thought about engineering a knuckle? In my head I see a lathe turned part that would accept the wheel bearing and have a shoulder for seating/locating a piece of laser cut plate that would mount the service brake, mount the parking brake and have lugs for welding tubes. Getting the shock mount right would be a little fun.
