Default Steering linkages

I'm setting up my steering links and it's not quite working out. So what I'm thinking about is using a HD Kimbrough servo saver and running a link to each knuckle instead of a cross link from knuckle to knuckle and from servo to knuckle.
Anybody tried this, thoughts, pros or cons?

If you were to get it just right it would probably work very well. I have never tried it though and Im sure someone will chime in on it.

Plus my servos output isn't centered in between the knuckles and I'm not about to remake my servo mount/bracket.

Your tires wouldn't steer the same degree side to side.

I'll be making a new servo mount and reworking my whole servo/steering/link geometry. I'm gonna center the output between the knuckles, use the Kimbrough HD SS and get some 4mm turnbuckles and RC4WD M4 rod ends and reverse thread rod ends.
