Unhappy Stock VMG - Steering and Centre clearance

IS there any way to maintain the stock servo and its position but eliminate the bump steer ( the tie-rod is pushed when the front axle articulates )..

Sometimes it actually goes to the left or right , when i need it to crawl straight .. :?

What about the center ground clearance ,.. any way to increase it ????

I don't beleive that there is any other way to get rid of bump steer other than to replace the stock servo with an axle mounted one. I bought some mounts from the same website sean lv listed. You could make your own but these mounts are made right and look great.
Here is my steering setup Pic 1 Pic 2

The only way to increase the diff clearance is to mount larger tires and wheels. There is a mod to install 2.2 tires and wheels.

On a side note I installed a 6.6:1 gear reduction unit this weekend. It made this truck in a crawler.

You might as well mount it to the axle because you will get more weight up front and more articulation.
