It will certainly wear grooves in the tie rod where the coil springs rub. There is a better version which has a cast arm mounted to the axle at the front and extending back to the wishbone ball. Both are designed to solve a nonexistent problem. However, if you chuck away all but the cast arm of the better version, you do have a set-up which might help with the problems of the earlier Above axle radius rod.
