Yes I know, normally the servo saver should be dead straight vertical so the shims on the ackermann plate hit the servo arm when fully locked, but this results in completely different EPAs left and right for me.
I am more the "steering link should be 90 degress to the servo saver" guy and with this setup I have EPAs of 90%L and 100%R.

Thanks for sharing the ways you do your setups and maybe I should just ignore my inner Monk, live with the different EPAs and set it up the way it is mentioned in the manual.

Of course I could also ditch the saver and go with an aluminium horn which would take care of it as well... but given the nice walls around our track and my track record of actually making contact with them once or twice during the season I will probably stick with it for the moment.
A lot of us servo saver to make it clear the swing rack. This will allow you to get a few extra degrees of throw. With the plastic swing arms I get 27* on the inside tire. With alum. I can get up to 30 but never go past 29* per Alex.

I should also mention that I use the lower steering bushing from the c-hub as the shim for my center ballstud on the swing rack. It is much narrower and lets the rack move farther.

I would not recommend an aluminum servo horn unless you are on a track with friendly barriers, like an ETS track, or most asphalt tracks.
