Why is this the case since the Associated Dynamic Front End came out?
What sort of advantage does this provide?
I have been thinking of mounting it flat. Wouldn't it be easier to match the angle of the upper arm with the servo mounted flat and the steering arms coming off the top instead of off the bottom?

thats a goog question it got me thinking so i got my car out and looked at it if you mounted it flat you would have to turn the servo saver 180 degrease and you would have to reverse the servo control on the radio to keep it from turning opposite of input :confused: :confused:

I know that. But I want to know the reason for the angled mounting.

It allows you to move the servo as far forward as possible. The farther forward the more the angle on the turn buckles . The angle helps eliminate bump stear.

It helps reduce changes in toe-in as you move the steering and also helps reduce bump-steer. Since front ends have some caster, the point where the tie-rod attaches to the steering knuckle will raise as the outside wheel is turned... with the angled servo, the servo saver also raises on the outside wheel. The same goes for the suspension compression in a corner... the knuckle raises and so does the servo saver on the outside wheel.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!!

Thanks Hank.
I never thought about the right side raising and the angle changing like that.
Thanks, GREAT FORUM!
