You still running the stock servo? It's horrible.

I don't know much about the DD steering set up. Mine is stock besides the steering servo and I have pretty sharp steering. Is it binding anywhere? EPA's set up to give you full steering throw?

Maybe some pics of your setup would help?

The knuckle hits the lwr control arm if I remember correctly - you could, I suppose hack into one of them with a Dremel but the CVD limitations are likely not far beyond... esp with a high torque motor. Personally, I just drive around that like any other limitation the TH has

My steering will take the knuckles all the way to there stops which is pretty much as far as I would recommend going. If you clearance the knuckle to go further I think the front axles will just break.

the front CVD's bind at full lock regardless of how much angle your knuckles give you. My front end is completely stock except for front diff locker and when i full lock the wheels vibrate like a mad man. Had to replace a CVD recently and sorta made the same turning motion in my hands and could feel a physical bind.

Yep, I remember this when my inner knuckle bearings were worn they did just as you described - they are right on the edge if the joints angular capacity
