You need more triangulation on your lowers to cancel out the axle steer. Move the lower links to outside the shocks, as close to the wheels as possible.With the shocks inside the original axle mounts and the links on the outside of the mounts. Magically almost all axle steer will disappear. The rig will be more stable as well. Yes your drag path will increase a bit but so will the suspension's "predictability".
Are you running internal springs for droop? Duratrax Mini Quake whites or yellows work well with 1000wt dif oil FWIW

Move your lowers back out where they are suppost to be on the axles.

if you dont like the droop setup take your internal springs out from underneath the piston and put them on top of the piston. (this is what i run and love it) then the springs act just like a normal spring set up but you have no external spring. it keeps that clean look and its free just run normal 30wt oil and put a layer or two of teflon tape on the upper shock threads to keep the tops from popping off. ive never had a problem with them popping off, but i do it as a precaution. and move your lower links to right next to you shocks (both front and back). these should all help.

with your links set up this way. (out toward your wheels ) don't your links hit your edge chassis at the skid plate area ?and how about your tires at full turn ? do they rub links ? let me know...thanks

rotate your rods on your rod ends of the links until the bends allow full turn with no rub....hope that makes sense...if it doesnt look up at rubiredunltd's pic and notice the angle of his link bends. that should help your turning clearences
