It moves the pinion up to get a nicer angle for the driveshafts.

Getting the pinion up higher can also get your shaft out of harms way but take care to no go to far or your turning will suffer.

ok then by cocking the axle all your doing is change the pion angle what dose that have to do with the steering

if you put your axle c's on backward you will notice that the tires instead of staying flat in a turn they raise up on the outer edges of them. also i think it make the turning radius a little larger. I have had mine mound both ways. now the axle c's that RCP has I have no clue if those would mess with the steering.

Look at your front axle from above while it is turning. Now imagine you roated it 90* up. The tires would still move side to side, but they would just lean over and not do much turning.
I doubt anyone is clocking their junk that much but for every bit your knuckles are past horizontal you lose a little bit of steering if you are running stock parts.

No one really clocks much now that the AX and WK have it built into the C's factory. And, the TLT's have enough aftermarket support to buy a clocked C.
