Message	the tie rods have always taken that load because the torsion about the vertical axis is isolated from the FUCA by the king pin bearing :What loads or loading conditions were causing the aftermarket FUCA's to bend like they were. The outboard side of the FUCA swings in two arcs. One arc is about the axis formed by the two inboard mounting points, the other is an arc caused by tension rod articulation. This last arc is what I believe causes other arms to bend
