    Ackerman?

     



    This rod was in the November SRM. It's what I'd call a nostalgia rod - or old school. What I don't understand is how the Ackerman could possibly be set up correctly with the reversed spindles. There simply isn't enough room between the spindle tierod eye and the backing plate to bend the spindle arm far enough to make the eye, the centerline of the kingpin and the center of the rear axle line up correctly. So, I guess his straight ahead steering is fine, but he'll buy new tires more often than the rest of us.
