Well i have seen a lot of Myths posted around about the steering lock of the AE86 using different arms , lower control arms , racks etc . Well i discided whilst doing a AE86 to S13 front coversion to take measurements from a few cars to dispell all the Myths .
1. Aus spec , using stock arms etc 45' - 47'
2. Powersteering ? anyone got a car to check , i wouldn't think there would be much lock . More like 35' - 40' due to the width of the rack on the left hand side reducting the lock.
3. Manual rack with powersteering arms , stock Ae86 lowercontrol arms , and tierods . 60' As per the trueno in the picture : Angle view , note the tyres hit the inner guard area front and rear with Aus spec rims even with this stock set up 
:Front view , left hand side is still stock .
:Now a big surprise , S13 hub conversion , S13 Suspension conversion using AE86 spring etc , non stock lca , non stock tie rod , manual rack , 60' with the lock limited by the lower arm , 7.5' rims .
:Now with the arm reversed without lock limited 70' with 7.5' tyres and 38' offset rims , left & right , inner and outer turning 10' difference as per normal ackermann angles , and the tyres clear the inner guard with ease
 
:This is all due to the pivot location distance , this picture show why
Yeap same distance as a powersteer AE85/AE86 , but futher in location and drop in ball joint height as the S13 is wider track for the correct ackermann angle . So it is posable to have a wider track AE86 with the correct ackermann angle , and have steering lock far greater than the AE86 suspension set up cheaply with S13 hubs and struts ?.
Anyone else got angles and pictures from there setups to compare .
Also the Trueno in the pictures is for Sale
