Default Re: 7-tooth steering full lock

Miken,

as GRutter wrote, the translation from the steering wheel to the tie rod depends on the length of the pitman.

Are the wheels on the ground? Or is the car jacked up and the wheels or/and the axle hang freely? Then the steering angle geometry changes and the kingpin bolts hit earlier.

I completely overhauled my 7-tooth steering in the last winter. I'm going this afternoon to measure how many turns my steering wheel makes from left to right.
