Re: Straight axle steering

I think it would be like driving a pinball. on top of being twitchy that shaft would be constantly extending and contracting in a radius so you have up and down and front to rear movement on that steep angle! I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Too much stress on the steering box and firewall. not to mention those little universal joints aren't designed to take a linear load like that..

just my opinion from 20 years of working for a company building scientific testing machines.
