Difference between over and under knuckle steering?
Hey guys I was looking at JCRs steering today and I was noticing there was two different kinds not including HI steer. One being over knuckle and under knuckle steering for the XJs.
I was just wondering the differences also the pros and cons of both Thanks |
well the name implies exactly what it means. OTK (over knuckle) steering has the tierod and draglink on top of the knuckle instead of the bottom. Keeping it out of harms way and reducing the angle of the draglink. which is good for road manners and effectiveness of power steering.

One mounts under the knuckle like stock and the other mounts over the knuckle and requires modifing the knuckle, moving sway bar brackets and most relocate the track bar as well, I still haven't but don't see much pavement. OTK takes some of the angle out of the drag link with high lifts but isn't needed with anything under around 5", my opinion and many will disagree.
