About steering angle.

IMHO there is a big difference between the steering angle when the car is standing and you take pictures (on my mst, if I take down steering angle limiters I can take very sexy pictures at almost 60 degrees) and the actual steering angle you can use (I can use only like 45 degrees), limited by

- chatter (any single joint cvd will chatter even if it's not at full angle, no matter how uwa it is)

- the point where then angle between steering link and upright arm (or knuckle, not sure which one is the correct term) aproaches 180 degrees, at which the link cannot hold the upright steady (smallest steering slop gets amplified big time), inner wheel dances like crazy and may even lock.

Just remember, pictures are pictures, what you can get while driving is the real usable angle.
