Default Re: Steering question

But the steering arm is connected to one spindle. Turning left its an inside wheel and turning right its an outside wheel. The tie rod connects them together but the inside wheel is turned to a greater angle than the outside wheel thereby the steering arm moves through more of its arc when its an inside wheel than an outside wheel. Obviously I am not doing something right as it seems no one else has run into this. I'll look it over when I can get back out in the shop. Thank you, appreciate everyones thoughts.

You are really over thinking all this. Just make sure your steering wheel is centered when the wheels point straight ahead (with 1/16" toe in, of course), and it will drive right.
