Definitely!
For a start the bottom ball joint is further out and further forwards than the top mount giving the standard camber and castor but shortening the distance between the 2 increases camber and castor.
It also can induce bump steer (where the steering arms aren't level with the rack and going over a bump causes the car to toe in/out die to the movement of the suspension effectively shortening/lengthening the arm).
Theres also al load more characteristics with COG, Roll centers, roll resistance from stiffer dampers, weight transfer that are all altered.
