Default Ackermann correction on TLT axle

Hi,

This is my last ackermann correction method for a TLT Axle.

I have modified steering knuckles and put on a modified bracket...see pics:













I can't build a BTA because I've not enough room for steering arm due to linkage/suspension/transmission shaft interferences...

Build thread: Edera-1

Ackermann angle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackerma...ering_geometry


BTA: Steering linkage behind the axle

Looks really nice!

How much better is it than the stock setup?

I don't know how much is the gain in steering angle, I think that its about the same because the same knuckles and axle. The point is that now it steer with correct ackermann angle so I've gained in turn radius...
