Hotchkis Center Link
 
Has anyone actually used one of the Hotchkis steering center links to control bump steer? I see it gets mentioned from time to time but only that it is available. I haven’t seen any input about how it works or if anyone thinks its worth it.

This is the part I am talking about. Hotchkis 34390

That's an interesting part that I haven't seen before. I'm curious to know how they correct bump steer with that. Seems the only thing they could change with that is inner tie rod location. I also find it curious that it utilizes the smaller 63-70 tierods on something that's geared towards a performance upgrade. I'm in to see if there is anyone who has feedback on this part.

A friend and I installed a complete Hotchkis suspension in his lowered 67 C10 step side. The center link looks just like the one you mentioned but I am not sure if it is the same number. It came in the suspension kit. Everything worked out nicely and no steering issues.

It changes the height of the inner tie rod mount location
