Hello All,
Ok for you Mechanical Engineers, Which steering arm should I use for my =
TR4 race car? As you can see from the attached picture one steering arm =
is longer than the other. I believe the one bolted to the car is from a =
TR6 and the other resting on top (to show the length difference) is from =
some other Triumph. I understand the shorter arm would result in quicker =
action but would it induce some type of unwanted condition? The Tie Rod =
end would be just aft of the brake disk leading edge=E2=80=A6 FYI I am =
using the Quick Ratio Rack.
On another subject but related. When using the stock steering rack frame =
mounts, the Tie Rods coming out of the rack end up angled forward =
towards the front of the car. Im not talking about level of the tie rod, =
i.e., straight with the rack as this does affect Bump Steer. So if i was =
to use the forward mounting holes (don=E2=80=99t use the rear holes) and =
add an additional plate thus moving the complete rack forward about one =
inch, the angle of the tie rods would be straight to the steering arm =
does this improve performance?
Thanks for your comments.
