It's a tiny bit off. Pulls a little to the left. The alignment etc....

I'm not confused about the difference between feedback and bumpsteer, I've been doing alignments for around 15 years....

With My weight hanging on the front of the truck, it had around 3mm of toe change (bump-steer) stock, now it has around 1mm. easy.

With the arm lengths, the change in bumpsteer comes from the overall length, where the pivot points (tre's) are located, and the angle.

Those bighorn centerlinks will shorten the tie rods, and put them on a steeper angle...not good. This will increase the bumpsteer massively. Try it on a piece of paper (or pooter program if ya have one) and see for yourself.

Interesting... I could try it with a simulation.

 

In other news I got a new alignment today along with some nicer tires. I'm going to hit the same spots that caused the steering wheel to jump and see how it works out.
