That's sort of the problem. It's very difficult to discern exactly what's happening with the side links because you can almost never see them.

That's what gives the hitch the 165 degrees of travel.
Clearly the front and rear bars overlap at this point, but it's the action of the side links "meshing" that makes it possible.
