[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1408748, member: 15947"] So here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about with Mike's pic of Joe's ram mount. That is the exact style ram I have. The tie-rod moves in an "X" pattern as the steering cycles back and forth. At full lock, one side is higher than the other, and the further out towards the knuckle that you mount the business end of the ram, the more pronounced the effect will be. This is a concern for me, as I have a pretty short tie-rod due to narrowing the axle almost 6". The red arrow represents the stress on the ram mount that I see happening when cycling side to side. If not stress on the mount, then stress on the seals and rod end of the ram. Like I said, this is my first full hydro setup. I guess I'm overanalyzing it since I see a lot of people do it this way... but it still doesn't sit well with me. Now, if both mounts incorporated a rod end somehow, and were also mounted 90 degrees offset... I could sleep at night. :redneck: [/QUOTE]
