How does that work? Is it designed to reduce bump steer or? Why go with this setup as apposed to the standard setup. Just curius. Very cool sammi as well.

It's used to get the same results as crossover steering. It can also help decrease your turning radius if setup properly.

check out calmini (http://www.calmini.com)they sell the cross over kit you are looking at. they have a jeep company too called full traction I think which sells the same thing but for jeeps.

Is supposed to work good but is more moving parts then you really need.
