The torque links on a Bricklin are exactly the same ones from the Gremlin.
The adjustment is on the end that attaches to the axle bracket.  A very
large nut and bolt, loosen them, then the torque link fits into a slotted
hole.  By moving it fore and aft in the slotted hole, pinion angle is
changed, thus adding or decreasing the amount of axle windup on hard
acceleration.

I still can't see the geometry of the setup affecting handling, especially
lane changes, which is side to side movement.  They sure don't affect AMCs
that way.  Center of Gravity change, perhaps?
