The outer passenger edge is really bad... Time to put the stock centerlink back on?

I ran the sd straight cl on mine with 38's and 40's. Improved steering response but definitely wore outsides of tires funny if they didnt get rotated often. I still preferred it over stock, especially on the bigger tires

check all your normal stuff for wear first (pitman/idler arm, tie rods, wheel bearings, ball joints). if all thats good, quit acting like NASCAR and making only left turns. If you cant get NASCAR out of your blood, then yeah, throw the stocker back on with atleast some cognito braces on it.

Between the SD center link up front and the grizzly locker out back, my 05 chew's the 35's off in a hurry :( Literally go threw 2 set's of tires a year at $1,100 - $1,500 a set :thumbsdown:

Dmax store kryptonite steering... :thumb:

I love mine. Basically no loss in turning radius, and no abnormal tire wear.

I have the Kryptonite Tie Rods now after going through 3 set's of Cognito's:rolleyes: I like the tie rod's so far and if I had not already bought and installed the SD link I would probably go with a kryptonite center link now. Not knocking the SD center link though because it was the only thing that fixed the crazy toe in on my front end when pulling and racing.

Mines awful too. You won't ever have good tire wear I don't think with the straight centerlink. It doesn't let it bump steer

Wtf? First exhaust smell now disgusting tire wear:rolleyes: get a fuken prius biatch ;):thumb:

Dont even start puta... You care more about how cool your truck looks as opposed to how fast it goes. I do not need any gay 22" wheels or super bro RBP grilles.

It creates even worse bumpsteer than factory. Only good straight centerlinks are kryptonite or exaxt being as they mount the inner tie rod behind the center link





Anyone have alignment issues with theirs as well?

Alignment will be harder as toe change is much greater throughout the suspension travel with that centerlink over a stocker
