I don’t oppose the idea of extended (vertically) tie rods. My issue is that I don’t know how much force is involved to steer the car (forces acting against the radius arm) that will be placed on the longer tie rods. Original tie rods are mounted in single shear condition but the lever arm length is real short. With an extended tie rod, the lever arm has a bending moment applied to in addition to the shear acting on it. Apparently it works ok, as lots have been getting by with it, but my background tells me there is a big unknown there. Has anyone ever measured how much how much side force is applied on a tie rod if the wheel endures hard cornering or it whacks a curb?  Surely somebody has done destructive testing on this at Ford in the past.  Why else would they have installed larger tie rods through the years?

So, that is just my thought on the subject. The idea works to eliminate bumpsteer.  I would just like some reassurance that the forces involved are not putting your life on the line when that spindle gets stressed.
