That is your factory steering linkage—constructed from thin-walled, stamped steel tubing—bowing and flexing under the immense leverage of increased rolling mass and altered suspension geometry.

This extreme-duty complete steering system replaces your entire factory tie rod and drag link setup with an ultra-stout, solid-tracking layout.
