Doesn’t fix overcentering. The outer joint relative to the knuckle and the inner joint relative to the rack haven’t changed. Now there’s just a squiggly line in between, instead of a straight one.

Doesn’t help steering angle. The tie rod’s balljoint cup already stops against the FLCA, so the offset doesn’t gain you any extra travel.

Anyone know what these are for? Or is this just a marketing gimmick, similar to the stepped FLCAs that people were claiming as roll center correcting?

Edit - spelling
Looks like an attempt for over centering correction (think of offset rack spacers).
