ok, Normally they are in this setup:

just wondering if they could rotate 180 degrees and end up in this position, severely limiting their travel in one direction.

hope this diagram works. was wondering if the different types of torque involved in having the arms not straight across, would allow the arms to turn at the ends, allowing the thing to get into a weird angle. again, I have no clue if it's possible or even probable, I just saw it as a concern.

when in the inverse position, it would be at about a 10-15 degree steeper angle, therefore being worse than not having the drop pitman, as it's sort of a raise pitman... again, maybe I just don't understand how the mechanism works. I imagine it's simply 2 bolts welded together, allowing for a bolt to come out from different angles. but again... I could be misdiagnosing or something, I hadn't seen it up close. My question was, would there be enough force to turn the threads allowing the center link to rotate into a non beneficial angle.
