So when I see Tebo run the 1mm Ackerman, to me he's taming steering, has anyone else found this to be true?
Moving the rack rearward in any scenario will reduce the angle of the outside wheel, making the wheels turn less parallel to each other. I haven't found this to necessarily produce the same results, like everything else it can depend on what the car is doing elsewhere in the suspension. I have had times where moving forward tamed down turn in and gained mid corner steering, and also times where rack back produced the best steering balance. I kept switching my B4's position and couldn't find one that was always better, but on that car the rearward one felt "tamer" overall.
