[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 325699, member: 483"] Crap, I need to retract my past few posts. I just got to the shop and realized that the ram I am using leaves .75" of shaft showing at full travel. My steering gain measurements included that which means I'm really only using an additional 3/8" or so of ram travel which could easily be accounted for by the switch in steering arms. So I guess I'll report back on if having correct Ackerman makes a big difference later today along with get pics up of the new steering setup. As for explanation of Ackerman, I don't have time to type up a whole rehash of threads that I read about it in. But this is where I learned the most and here are some pics I modified to try to help explain it in terms of rockwells better.
