Here is a video I done on the club 5 Racing servo relocation mount and husky links.

ill never understand why they put the servo is in the middle you need the steering link to be as long as posable to actualy help with the geomitry this looks like it just makes it worse
ive never tryed it though so i cant realy say it just seems backwards to me
in my opinion the stock link is to short to start with i think moving the servo forward is a much better solution still dosent fix the langth issueThe servo link length actually doesn't change. I think he changed the links because those husky links are much nicer, but they should be the same length as stock.
The relocation correctly aligns the steering link parallel with the axle instead of sticking way out in front like it does stock. This also helps get rid of bumpsteer.

but i font see how the servo mountibg point moves and the link stays the same
i had this installed but ended up uninstalling it. ran into some issues:
2) i got some major tire rub with the husky link on my aftermarket tires (i had no tire rub with stock, plenty of space). I could get more clearance shoving in a buncha washers buuuuut i wanted to keep use of the stock plastic hubcaps loli ended up moving the tierod to the bottom and leaving hte servo arm on the top fo the hub mount thingie.
Anyone installing the husky links, did u notice tire rub?
I think you did what I would've done. Move the tie-rod to the bottom and steering link on top. That also corrects the angle of the steering link anyway.
That's one of the first things I did when I got the Gen8. Some people were getting tire rub even with the stock links on stock setup so....
i think that body role is from flimsy mounts once those were fixed mine dident do thatCurrently the links are like this (looking from the top front -->): |\
This mount makes it so that the links are like this : ||
If you moved the servo forward even more than the stock location, you're going to end up with a steering link that looks like this: |--
Here is club5 video showing the difference between stock and this mount.

the husky links says the steering link is 10mm shorter than stock
when i moved my servo i was able to use a longer rod end making it about 5mm longer making for even less bump steer
ssd link mounts i braced my lower panhard link mount to the pumpkins upper link mount and that stoped then made a new bracked that made everything longer and parallel to each other with less axle swing and better bump steerIt's not from the mounts. It's the geometry. I spent a lot of time looking at it when I first got it. Get your Gen8 and turn it upside down and tilt one side of the axle at a time. You'll see.
HumboldtEF was able to minimize his by essentially doing what the Club5 is doing. He created his own custom mount to move the steering link so that it's parallel with the tie-rod.

the brace stoped the body role when turning

once i had my endpoints dialed in, i had very much reduced body roll. at that point, i didnt see th eneed for the club5 servo relocation, ontop of the other issues i had with it.
nice video! thank you for the update!
Update, changed my upper link to the top of the spindle, works and looks much better.![]()
