Is there any good that can come of moving the position of the turnbuckles (not the very front ones - sorry, don't know the correct name - the toe links??) near the front of the car to the back hole on the steering rack? I'm using the FT trailing axles - I read elsewhere that the back position is typically used for inline axles.
Seems like moving the ball cups to the rear position on the steering rack would shorten the angle of the.. damn i don't know. That's where this noob hits the wall. Right now both front turnbuckles (on one side) are parallel from the top view. Moving this cup to the back spot will make those imaginary lines converge.
Follow-up - What will adding spacers to either position on the steering rack do? Seems like this would lower the roll center, if I've absorbed anything through this bog of Guinness.
fredswain, where are you when I need you??
Moving the steering links back will muck up your Ackerman (the amount the inside front tire turns more during a corner than the outside) and it will probably do strange things to your bump steer (change in steering position of a particular tire when the suspension compresses).
Adding any washers to the steering system won't change the roll center. Altering those positions changes bump steer (sip more Guinness at this point...). Roll center is going to be changed by either adding or removing washers from under the inner camber link ball stud or shortening/lengthening the camber link itself. At this point, switch to a hoppy ale and you will be blown away by the hop flavor. Does this help?
