Today I was tinkering around with my steering. It was stock, but I decided to replace the plastic bushings with bearings. While I was getting it back together, I noticed something. The cross member that ties the two steering posts together and holds the tie rods rubs on the diff case when you move the steering. Not good. If there was an award for the most bound steering I think the Maxx would win. So I took it off and just sanded one side down a hair and now it's nice and free. Just thought you'd all like to know in case you're working in that area...
 
I've noticed it's a close-tolerance movement. I've got about a millimeter of clearance. You didn't tweak anything in a crash, did ya?
