As you extend the rod end along the orange arrow, you change the physical distance between the two points. The purple line is the new distance, and when you rotate the LCA around the subframe rod end to "adjust" caster, the distance is incorrect and you're stressing the subframe and tension rod bracket.

The tension rod needs to pivot on the LCA or the angle at which it mounts to the tension rod bracket needs to be adjustable, like the TDP kit.

You were having so much fun in ms paint you probably forgot to notice that the adjustable caster arms on your 240 pose the same problem.

Hahahaha see I'm on no ones side.

Congrats on the new product, it looks sick, just a little expensive. May want to outsource those ball joints to china lol
