jusjay you dont think that by jamming the wheel to oneside and hammering it causes any kind of energy to be transferred then placed on the front end? for example the front suspension or rack and pinion system?
I understand exactly what your doing, i dont think you understand the science behind it all. The cause and effect. That energy and motion has to go somewhere. it does not just float away. Any drifting is not the equivalent to "normal wear and tear"
Do your h/w ask these guys if drifting dosent break things.

When the road is wet and oily, you don't have to hammer down on anything. a slight tap of the gas will get 'er going. You have to understand this isn't done on dry pavement. It's like a controlled hydroplane. The tires and other components aren't put under the same strain as if it were dry. it's just sliding a little. It definitely isn't putting that much wear on your truck as you may think. Remember.......wet pavement.
