I was going to start the exact same thread, very curious myself. From what i understand it helps correct the geometry on lifted vehicles. Also been reading that it is more likely to have DW. But i just started researching so maybe somebody has more experiance.

I have found that the increased angle of my steering makes my steering feel looser than stock so there must be more leverage from the steering wheel to the tires and more leverage from the tires to the steering wheel which increases the chances of DW. more leverage means that something could break more easily also.

returning the stock angles to the steering will return stock strength and ride.

Do you see a query for help in there anywhere?

I answered the question that was asked. If you don't like the answer, ask a different question.

sorry to revive this but I was wondering if someone (that would be you blaine) could please explain to me the pros and cons of a crossover steering set up as opposed to stock.

thanks
