It seems maybe the centerlink should need to be less flexible so that it doesn't get this severe.
Also, it would be interesting to try to see if the cognitos have a small effect on it. Since they limit the rotation on the centerlink they might control some of that flex.
Yeah, that bothers me and I think if, from an engineering standpoint, you could move the tie rods to the rear of the steering knuckles or do something to address this issue, it would go a long way to strengthening the IFS for off road.

I agree, something should be done. But with that said, it's important to note the tires we're using are much wider than others on the trail. Phil said his walked all over like that when in 4low, but not in 4hi.
Cognitos may be on our list, but I'm waiting for Phil's review. They certainly can't hurt.
BTW, you can call me. I'll be on the road all day tomorrow, too.
