i dont understand all these arguements. i understood the first picture when i saw it, it is obvious if you have ever seen r&p steering before, but i have never seen one that is fixed to the axle before.

my only questions are is it reasonable to expect the slip shaft to deal with thise severe amount of use seeing as how it will be under a lot greater useage than a fixed r*p?

and can the r&p be mounted on the other side of the axle so as to not swap spindles?

this is a very interesting steering idea.
