If it's just hanging (drooping) down you can use some o-rings on the pivot balls to level it out some. Basically sandwiching the rod ends between two o-rings. If it's sitting too low, Vanquish and Hot Racing have high clearance knuckles, probably some other aftermarket high steer options out there as well. Hot Racing part #WRA21G01 allows you to mount the steering in the high or stock positions. You could also try mounting the link on top of the knuckle arm instead of under it. You may have to raise your servo some if you use the high clearance knuckles or remount the steering link. |

It also occurred to me your c-hubs may not be clocked in the right position. This can cause the link to sit a little low, just double check that before buying anything. | |

Hubs in stock position, the rocks get the lower linkage and servo,servo on chassis would clear that up,just still leaves the lower link,i'll just search around the net , I guess,can't trust the pictures

You could also clock the c hubs one spline over towards rear , that will leave your steering link angled up over the pumpkin.

Completely forgot, but some have gone to mounting the steering link behind the axle. Not sure what all is involved in that, but it's another option to consider. | |
