EFFECTS OF ACKERMANN ADJUSTMENT
STEERING ROD INNER MOUNTING
POSITION
CHARACTERISTICS
Forward holes (sharper angle)
• Smoothens out steering response
• Car reacts smoothly
• Better suited to smooth flowing tracks

Rearward holes (shallower angle)
• Quickens initial steering response
• Car reacts faster to steering input
• Better suited to small, tight tracks

i was thinking forward cause i think back would be way to twitchy cause it reacts faster but he can try both and see what works best for him

this is what im saying

no its opposite of what you thought

TUNING WITH ACKERMANN
The standard setting (kit setting) on most vehicles is so as to make the vehicle easy to drive. Making the Ackermann Link longer (in most cases, the link will be swept back instead of parallel with the front suspension arms) will take away Ackermann, but make the steering more aggressive entering a corner. Making the link shorter (in most cases, the link will be more parallel with the front suspension arm) will result in more Ackermann, or less aggressive, and make the steering smoother and more predictable.

On cars with steering bellcranks, you can add a .100″ shim (2.5mm) under the ball end. You will also need to use a longer ball end to accomodate the spacer. This will result in more Ackermann.

another thing you could do is put a shorter servo arm on the steering and that will limit it throw kinda like epa would if you had it

what he says contradicts with the hudy setup guide and competition x setup guide. im going to look at THE CAR setup by JQ and see what he says cause brandon says the opposite of the other two
