gold28 Forums Junkie Location: Madrid - Spain Registered: August 2002	Re: removing Ackerman Steering Mon, 17 November 2003 04:34 I would be more worried about the height of the rack than the fore-aft location. Ackerman is one of thoes things that is both good and bad depending on what you are using the car for. whereas bump steer is definitly something to be avoided Noone really uses %100 ackerman and this is easily seen in any car park with painted or polished cement. If the cars had %100 ackerman then the tyres shouldn't squeel going around the corners. There has been a lot of people using zero ackerman on both road cars and rally cars. In my opinion (which isn't really worth much anyway) ackerman is overrated when it comes to performance driving, because as soon as one tyre starts to generate a slip angle then everything changes. The outside tyre will start to slip more than the inside one, effectively increasing the ackerman angle. In this case, I would probably recommend reducing the ackerman but you can't do that with the rack location. Only changing the steering arms will reduce it. The most important thing for you Joel is to minimise the bump steer and try and get the rack as close as possible to where the original was. And do the bump steer before you put the RCA's in. otherwise they will stuff up all your hard work. [Report message to a moderator]
