Front suspension geometry

[PJL54Oval]

On the subject of Ackerman angle. To find the corect angle for the steering arms, you draw a line throught the front ball joint to the center of the rear axle centerline. The tie rod should fall somewhere on that line. For front steer vehicle, just mirror the angle forward of the front axle centerline.

Hi

Something to be aware if your running excesive castor, the same forces that keep the steering wheel straight when going forward will work against you if you ever spin your car and find yourself going backwards fast, the steering will wip itself into a full lock condition.
