the diesel guys have some pretty cool steering upgrades to keep the wheels striaght on 4wd launches. is there anything out there for us? i'm thinking about trying the hd stuff and see if i can make it work on my hoe. i'm tired of the scary launches.

i may just try out some of the diesel stuff. the center link is like 1.8" longer but the factory inner tie rod is the same part number. if anything maybe just have to shorten the sleeves or the inner tie rod to ba able to adjust it in all the way.

I would just do the Cognito pitman and idler arm supports and Cognito heim tie rods.

those heim joints wear out and the braces are cool for low power off road type guys, but with AWD and load of power street driving it doesn't really seem to help the crazy torque steer. if anything i'll see if i can get them to make the mounting hole further in on the center link. and add a steering stabilazer. mine now is to the point where i have to turn my wheel to the left to go striaght. sure i could replce the parts with new ones and get an allignment just to do it again shortly after. my tires get all kinds of crazy looking at wot from a dead stop.

it makes for a shitty ride on the streets. It keeps the tires from being able to droop into the road. So it gives a bouncy feeling. Plus it doesn't keep the center link from being able to pivot. But since it keeps the front end more loaded when the center link does move if fights more cause the front has more traction. I didn't like it at all.

I know all about the shitty ride. I currently have mine tightened up on my truck. But it actually prevents me from doing 4wd burnouts, so it's worth it.
Try the centerlink, but I don't see how it's going to help your problem. It's made to be stronger than stock to prevent bending and breakage, not cure torque-steer. Or at least that's what I thought. What's the name of the company that sells them?
