rack n pinion front steer ackerman issues...explain...



Following along with some interest, that last photo says it all. Notice how the car is making a left turn and the wheels are positioned correctly with the inside one turned at a much sharper angle than the outside one. This is proper Ackerman. If this were a rear steer car with flipped steering arms, the Mopar arms would be pointed to the inside as nearly as severely as the Sprite arms are pointing to the outside. The angles of the wheels would then be reversed with the inside wheel angled at about half of the severity it is in the picture and the outside wheel would be the one with (roughly) twice the angle and you can imagine how terrible it would steer.
