Sly,

What link are you talking about?
sway bar?

If you change your wheel to a smaller one (probably possible with stock size...I know I can't do it though), you can keep track of where the wheel is when you're counter steering by quickly moving your outside hand (the hand that is closest to the outside of the turn) with the wheel as it "spins itself". That way, you will have an accurate idea of where the front wheels are pointing. This is really important b/c if you grab the wheel after letting is spin and incorrectly think you have the wheels pointing in a direction that they are not, as soon as the rear end regains traction, the car will quickly be rotating the opposite way, into a pole or something.

If you have ever seen a video of a pro drifter in the car, they always know exactly where the front wheels are pointing b/c they never fully let go of the wheel.
