Hello everyone, I'm Dave from West Australia. I'm constructing a car special which has Mk 4 front and rear axles. I note they have mechanically actuated brakes and basic steering, which I need to adapt to my special. It appears that the steering plane arms are not angled to produce the Ackerman Steering principle of tow out on turns, instead are set parrallel to the car centreline. I wondered if any one has any information or comments on the reason for this. Cheers Dave.

 

Welcome to the Forums.

Since there is no dedicated MK IV Tech Section, the nearest would be the MK V Section.

Some of the members in there would have the answers, I am sure.

I dont know.

Good luck.
