My mathe tells me that if I shorten the arm to 4.5 inches, it'll equal about a 18% reduction in steering effort, which should equate to about an 18-1 ratio. I hope
Thanks

Guys....One thing for sure here........Kahuna was paying full attention that day in physics class, and has it figured correctly. No "rocket" science involved here.
SHORTENING that arm will REDUCE the effort required to turn the steering wheel. In addition, it will also REDUCE the number of TOTAL degrees that the wheels will turn in either direction, as the end of the arm's arc has decreased in length of arc travel. This effectively INCREASES the turn radius of the vehicle. DD
