The result? Well the car was simply stunning today, no steering issues what so ever, and numerous other comments about how good and hooked up my car looked. Was good enough for easily my best result of the year so far, Q'ing 8th O/a in 27t at the last round of Carpet Wars over here... my first big A final

Anyway, heres the setup I used. Feel free to give it a try, and let me know your comments.

Carpet Wars 06/07 27t Rd6 Setup

Sufice to say, it would seem that shimming the ball studs forward, combined with the D/D blocks, has solved the mid corner steering issue I had.
To say the least, I'm absolutely ecstatic with todays result...



Cheers
Ed
Nice work Ed - well done! I've changed my ackerman to have a 1mm shim now. If the weather holds out I should get to try it tomorrow night. But this sounds very promising indeed.
