Re: Crossover steering question

Personally, I think crossover steering is great, but I may not be able to speak since I'm not actually using it, my old Chevy is using the stock steering setup. I think crossover steering is better in every respect except bumpsteer, and I don't even think that's a serious issue.

In short, bumpsteer is caused when the suspension and the steering components are moving in different ways, so they never move exactly equally. The stock GM system, however, is moving almost exactly equally with the suspension, so very little bumpsteer.

But that certainly doesn't mean the stock GM system is the strongest, or perform the best under articulation, or the least susceptible to death wobble, and it certainly doesn't mean it's the best setup overall.
