Steering arms to be be parallel when looking from in front of the car. 2. Steering arms to be parallel from when looking from above the car. 3. steering arms and lower control arms to be the same width centre to centre. I understand the steering arms and the lower control arms are to be of an identical length, centre to centre. With this in mind, is the reason the factory KE10 inner tierods are 2cm further inwards (towards the centre of the car), because the tierods at the steering arms are actually offset 2cm inwards as well? - for ackerman angles? So to the un-educated person having a quick look, it doesnt look like it all lines up but when you actually take it apart and measured it precisely, you'd find the steering and lower control arm lengths are the same? This means i could take a steering rack out of a falcon who's inner tie rods would pivot heaps far apart, but so long as i kept the steering arms the same offset (on the strut), it should still work? - providing i can keep everything inline when looking from in front and above. And, is the reason the KE10 tierods are offset (ie. all pivots are 2cm inwards compared to the control arm pivots) for ackerman angle reasons? which i have no idea about...?
