Marder Steering

[Wetsparks]

Wonder if anyone can help on this?

I've now got the front end of the car rebuilt, but the amount of Ackerman effect on the steering seems a bit excessive. I've tried moving the steering arms to the inner hole on the hub arms but that only makes it worse.

So is this just a 'feature' of this car or is there another solution??

Put a photo on pal, it's been that long since I looked in detail at a marder



Yes I'm old..........

OK.

Steer To Left:


Steer To Right:


You can see in each shot the large amount of difference in the position of the drive squares. Any help??

I get the impression that by mounting the tie rods closer to the hubs of the uprights and adjusting for centre again that the effect won't be as pronounced, or am I wrong?

Yep, or NO! Tried that and the effect was even worse

Then you need longer arms on the uprights .... ?
