B6 ackerman

[lloyd1]

Just need little help on what ackerman does to the car if you change the spacers on the steering rack e.g. None or 2mm , which is more Ackerman and less and what effect it has on the car thankyou

[gav4wd]

no spacers makes initial steering calmer more spacers the opposite
i've found 1mm to be good for me.
also were you have front wheelbase will also change ackerman i found short wheelbase on front better for me.
hope this helps

1mm feels best to me as well.

have to double check this,have I been thinking the wrong way round??

sure that less spacers give more ackermen,

I run no spacers on the rack, that get max ackerman as far as I understand it, indoor on carpet and outdoor on astro its how I like it.

Less spacers, more ackerman so calmer steering.

ah thats what was confusing me, I realised less gave more ackerman, but assumed it would make the steering more agressive as the inside wheel bites in.

thanks for clearing it up
