I can agree with that to a point. The spindle will only turn until it hits the King Pin Locking Bolt Nut (Turn Stop). The spindle can not turn any farther than that. It does not matter how far the drag link can move, the spindle is not going to move any farther once it hits the stop.

As I stated before, mine hits the stops in both directions with the shorter pitman arm, so the turn radius is the same.
