Thanks Derek, I think I’ve printed off the wrong revision of my efforts to make into a JPEG image. I’ll reprint. The ackerman angle is the next to incorporate to see how it influences my physical measurements of the spare rack movement. Cheers
Good work Roger. I'm interested to see where this leads. From your reading of the manual though - it sounds like we should expect different left and right steering angles, which I didn't know.
I've done some more work on the rack drawing and taken further measurements.
Wheels Straight and Zero Toe.
22.5 Degree lock left
Full lock Left Based on measured full extent on spare rack.
I have some other scenarios drawn which I'll post later. From the pics you will see that at full lock the NS tyre is very close to the engine bay floor panel. The rough figures from my car (i.e. marked in chalk on the driveway and the angles measured with a adjustable set square after the wheels have scrubbed around )are full lock left 26.5 degrees NS and 29 degrees OS I don't think the 96 steering follows the ideal ackerman curve too closely from doing a bit of maths and some reading. I don't quite know what my efforts are telling me yet but from the time its taken me I must be learning something -I hope. Cheers
