I would really appreciate some assistance with a steering question. I am building a 28 roadster that is not totally stock but my frame is stock and I am using a two tooth steering box. I have a 33 Ford front axle with 37 (round) spindles with 40 Ford brakes. Anyway way my question is, does a stock model A steering wheel rotate the same number of turns from straight ahead to the left and right stops. I am finding mine will rotate farther turning to the left than to the right. I keep thinking it is due to the Ackerman set up of the spindles. If someone could just let me know if stock the wheel rotates the same number of turns left and right I would really appreciate it. I'm starting to loose my mind trying to set it up for equal number of turns. Thank you.
