For kicks, pretend you are willing to make a new center link. move the inner pivit out about 2", and down about 3/4". then play around from there. tell me what you get. We'll compare notes
I'll have to try that. Along the same line, I was wondering what you would make a new center link out of? Is the factory link hardened or treated to make it stronger? I ask because I was considering fabricating a new center link to fix the bump steer
