3rd Gen Ackermann Adjustment
Has anyone changed the steering box and idler mounting positions to change the ackermann angles at full lock? I'm prepared to change this to make my ligher nosed V6 3rd gen turn better for the upcoming autocross season.
In my opinion, this needs to change depending on weight and roll/suspension stiffness. I am more than unimpressed at how the front of the car does not hook when turning a sharp corner. I attribute this to the steering system designed to operate with the typical 3rd gen (SBC engine, small sway, weak springs, and daily driver).
If you have any information that would be great. If not, I will post what I find and do so that others may follow.

I'll move it.
The lt1 screams! Pulls hard past 6k. It also has a Zexel Torsen with 3.07 rear.
