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


I agree that the spindle can't move any farther after it hits the stops . Maybe the cars with seven tooth steering are effected the most . I use the shortened pitman arms on most of our model A's because they steer easier with them . The shorter pitman arm does change the turning radius for some reason . No harm meant .
