The end of the centerlink where the threads are looks angled upward. Phil, Ken and I have been going back and forth about how much the centerlink might be contributing to failures. The centerlink is made to give or flex and that flex might be a little too much allowing for the tires to move too much.
Ever since, it's always been stated that if you wheel a IFS GM truck, that you will have to get an alignment done afterwards. Most of this is simply due to it being IFS but something has to move/give for it to come out of alignment and many times the mis-alignment is toe.
With the centerlink flexing so much it also is prematurely wearing out the pitman and idler arms where they attach to the centerlink, IMO.
