Redrooster, My steering didnt suffer at all, the only thing was that I had a hard time lengthening the drag link. And since it was too short, my steering radius was too long on one side and not enough on the other. I had an alignment shop lengthen it when they aligned my jeep. The caster ended up turning out great, I was worried when welding on the perches, but I followed the rubicon express directions and everything turned out fine.
