i dont understand, how is this FD legal, nothing is in stock location for that vehicle? also the rear wheel drive factor, this always puzzled me BIG TIME
otherwise, on to a more important question which im pretty sure was covered so im really sorry if im beeing redundant, i saw something on page 102 or something that breifley covered this subject a little but didnt talk about the negative effects, what are the negative effects of flattening out the ball joint pick up point? i believe it sits at about 62* in relation to the face of the knuckle what would be the negative effect of making it sit at an even 90* and while we are at it why not talk about the possible benefits, i understand that it may possibly reduce ackerman, but would it cause some awkward lack of leverage for the tie rod, possibly making the rack work harder? and what if you were to flatten that out and then also bring the tie rod pick up point in line with it, to a zero ackerman state? sorry dudes, but this is something that has been floating around in my head for a good while now, and i keep forgetting to bring it up, me and my partner are working on a new knuckle design, and this was one of the big questions that i kept forgetting to bring up for discussion as of right now our design is at the factory angle in relation to the face of the knuckleand so is the angle of the tie rod pick up point in relation to the face of the knuckle. Really eager to understand how these angles play a role on the rest of the steering/suspension also wouldnt flattening the ball joint pick up point alter kpi in a potentially very negative way? sometimes is really easy to grasp one or two parts of the puzzle, but getting the whole big picture
thats a big difference haha
thanks in advance
