I am also on my phone but I cam see it... I'll explain it lol
It has the xj steering connected to only the top spot of the knuckle. Looks super flat however.

It is!
Web wheeling is one thing... if ya think it's gotta be down to the exact millimeter then ya probly read more then build... there's is lots of room to play there even though the Internet will make u think otherwise

I didn't post a picture because I have a problem.... I was showing Will how my setup is is and worth fine...
It is!
No bumpsteer... been like this almost two years and never a issue... been on the interstate at 80 many times also... no problem...

It's not about web wheeling or real wheeling, it's to do with physics. Can't argue your way out of that.

Because of the arc swing movement(not good at technical terms lol) being exactly parallel will allow for the suspension to cycle with no interference(bump steer) now if the length isn't the same or the bars are not parallel, there will be some interference, now as I said, you probably do have bump steer but because your links are fairly close to be parallel, you wouldn't even notice the bump steer because how small it is. Trying to find the calculator/input(like the suspension calc) that I saw and used years ago. Ill post it when I can

As the suspension cycles, both the track bar and drag link travel in An arch. If the angle/length of the two is different. It causes bumpsteer because the 2.try to follow different archs. And since the drag link us connected to a joint it causes the heel to steer.

first one is old school stuff but shows how different angle will cause different arcs
second is newer with showing both leaf and link suspension and saying and showing the same that if not parallel, the individual links will swing at different arcs and cause one side(the moving axle) to tilt(bumpsteer)
