Thank you very much gents, I will get back to some of the points made in due course, when i get a few minutes but just to pick up on this:

Does the overall effect on the steering forces, from removing the front ARB, depend on the caster angle of the geometry?

Yes and no is the answer. The castor angle will have an effect but you are kind of limited in what you can do here by the wheel arch. Also high castor angle has a minimal effect when compared with the ARB issue.
If I jack up the front axle then apply full lock you can feel that quite a force is required to overcome the ARB. If I disconnect the ARB and do the same thing, there is virtually no effort required to go from full lock to full lock.
