| Post subject: | Imprved turning radius |
My tuning radious is huge. I hate making 3 point turns. I have a widend K&L beam with longer wider arms and a center rack. Firstly I know I need more off set in my rims and maybe get an other couple of notches cut in the shaft of the rack. But, is there any way to get some camber angle into the steering? The wheels don't angle at all. They stay straight up and down when turning. Steering/cutting brake is only good at speed. Also any good recommendations on a power rack? |

Sorry to say but not really any way to get a tighter radius. I run a devil Sr rack widened beam and 4+1 arms turning radius sucks and it turns sharp enough the tires rub the beam. Best investment in powersteering is a saturn vue set up it'll spoil you I can't imagine not having it anymore just my opinion, however I may be the only person on here anymore so I may be the only opinion lol |

Lol. I'm still here. I check it every night. I have the same setup as you. I was told to use wheels with 1.75 back spacing. Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk |

Maybe your rack is not mounted far enough forward? If you mount it further forward and use longer tie rods, it may improve the geometry for tighter turns? |

My tires hit the thru-rods on my beam. that's my limiting factor. Why don't your steering brakes work at low speeds? I can just about spin mine around from a stop just running Nissan calipers. |

Thanks for the info. Yeah my tires rub thru rods to. I've flipped the rims around for off set, ( all 4 actually) however I do see that unless I do some grinding on the carrier it won't turn any tighter. |
