Sure do prevent over centering. I had worked out how to do this over a year ago in Aus. I wonder how long it will take people to actually see whats different though.

The only downers are the ADD bumpsteer, as steering length changes with more lock. The distance between centers of the rack end and tie rod end.
This isnt so bad as stock does this, but this is reversed now.
It adds dead ahead bumpsteer too, Ie when your driving straight ahead.

Your ackeman is now dynamic too, changing with amounts of lock. Can you post up a picture that shows both wheels at full lock ?(underneath, midslide, hard parked etc)
once again not a huge problem, but if its not spot on you will get anti ackerman quickly.

But IMO it still fixes many of the problems that we face when drifting, and the good outways the bad IMO. And reps for just working out the binding knuckle secret.
