Originally posted by DesertRAT: My only concern is increased bumpsteer by connecting the tierods directly to the idler and pitman arm. The AC steering did this and bumpsteer was absolutely horrible.
The AC system did not use a redesigned pitman or idler arm. Notice there is no drop in the pitman arm. This allows the tie rod to mount in a similar place as the stock geometry.
The AC system simply mounted the tie rod to the bottom of the stock pitman arm, changing the angle by a large amount, thus increasing bumpsteer.
