You are watching research and development happen before your very eyes. Kind of cool!

Maybe more flex, cause the joint is at the axle? I'm gonna change mine, but a few more days like it is can't hurt. Have you guys wheeled them with the arms wrong?
Not an expert but I would think at most you're giving up some added articulation at the extreme.

That would be my guess. And that may not even occur unless you have the entire TF control arm setup. I have just the front lowers and, as I've mentioned before, the way that Torn and I have them installed is much closer to the stock shape than the way TF says to install them. Not saying I won't change them to the way the TF says (I will), but I've had them for several months this way and they've run fine. I'm not in a particular hurry. Manana, manana. :-)

BTW: To avoid further confusion, I'm going to delete all my images/pictures relative to this. Don't want folks thinking that I have it the proper way should they stumble on them.
