Where was I not decent ? You called me a prick and an ass kisser, I merely stated you should talk with CALMINI and get the facts from them, instead of making them up.

Regarless of how the idler, pitman, center link and tierods are attached, they all move in the same fashion. Turn the steering wheel, and the pitman arm turns X number of degrees. The tie rods are mounted closer to the center of the vehicle, which means they are longer, and less prone to bumpsteer. They are also aligned with the lower control arm, and travel through the correct arc during suspension movement.Bumpsteer will not increase with the design.

How do I know this ? Because I actually talk to vendors on the phone instead of just guessing at things.

Your "extensive" experience is nothing more than breaking AC's poorly designed system, and running SLR's system for a few weeks.
I'll take the word of the CALMINI engineers and their CAD/FEA software over the word of you any time.

I have a very good friendship with Steve Kramer, something I did not expect when I started running ads on XOC last year. We talk on the phone several times a week about everything, not just Xterra related issues.
Do I kiss his ass about his parts or company ? No. I see good design, and I comment on it. Do I like CALMINI products ? Some of them, but certainly not all of them. It's that way with every vendor.

Don't believe what people say about me. I am a prick in person and on the Internet, unless you treat me with a bit of respect, and then I will do the same in return.
