Setup question: CAT K2 centre track rod

[Jon Stockwood]

Hi all,

I've been puzzling for a while now about the effect of lengthening or shortening the centre track rod on the CAT K2 (or any other car for that matter). I'm referring to the turnbuckle that connects the two steering bell cranks. The kit setup is shorter than some of the sample setups on Schumacher's website.

I can't quite tell if this has an effect on Ackermann, or whether it's more to do with the linearity of steering travel around centre. Both are probably wrong!

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Cheers,

Jon
