| | | Hi, The Ackerman geometry make both steering wheels follows the proper arc when turning (the inside wheel follow a smaller arc than the outside one) : the wheels turn a different angle. (Ackerman principle is well known in France as "épure de (...) (20 years ago, 27-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

This assembly not only answers the principle of Ackerman but in more the rack move in a straight line (as far as I remember). It is just a (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

The prevalent theory seems to be: if you draw an imaginary line through the steering arms (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)
