Do A's turn sharper in one direction?
If not, someone explain this to me. With the wheels pointing straight ahead, and the drag link disconnected, the steering arm (the one with the ball on the front axle), travels much farther forward from a given point than it does backward.
I can't seem to figure out the geometry of this thing. |

Steering stops equal?

The steering arm should be directly above and parallel to the axle. If not, the arm is bent and will steer as yours is. Heat and straighten and it will be fine.

Re: Do A's turn sharper in one direction?
Which arm is the "steering" arm? The Spindle arm?
Maybe it has to do with the Ackermann angles? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackerm...ering_geometry .
