This movement of the center link puts the tie rods in an awkward position and will snap any brand of tie rod if wheeling hard enough.

If you really want to bullet proof your front IFS steering and protec your tie rods, install the Cognito Pitman and Idler kit. It will also drive so much better and get rid of all the "float" when driving even on pavement. This is one of the best mods I have done to my H2!

Great find.....
