[QUOTE="64FJ40, post: 1112220, member: 16057"] I think the short story is that most people don't. But some rambling for rambling's sake: But the orientation of the tie rod and whatever link you use to control your steering doesn't actually have any bearing on the Ackerman. It's determined by the distance and angular position from the knuckle's center of rotation of the tie rod attachment point. If the tie rod is in the right spot on the steering arm, it doesn't matter (as far as Ackerman angles go) where on the arm the ram/draglink/etc attaches. I suspect that people have attempted to put the draglink connection as far out as possible in order to reduce steering effort (or maximize steering force), but that's just a guess. [/QUOTE]
