For anyone who has installed the MGB steering arms, how much of an improvement does it make in the steering? My sense is that the steering is heavy only at low speeds with the stock arms. - Randy A.

Although it is known as an "Ackerman Angle" kit, the amount of correction made is minimal, at best. The steering ratio does change, giving quicker response at the expense of heavier steering wheel f

My impression is that the correction is really more of a geometry and suspension loading issue than it is for correcting "heavy steering." The fact that it goes to a quicker ratio rack would actualy

Aside from moving the rack, don't the longer MGB steering arms used as part of installing Dale's kit compensate as well against the 4 inches (or whatever it really is) misplacement of the rack??? ___

Hi Stephen, Partially. What really needs to happen is that the tie-rod balljoints need to be located further outboard relative to the steering spindle axis, and you run into the brake disc long befor

From what I can see of the steering geometry, the length of the steering arms effect the steering ratio (turns of steering wheel to road wheel angle change) and not the relationship between the oppo

Erm, well, I wouldn't call it technical expertise, but: I moved my rack back approximately 5" from the stock position. (It's now right under the harmonic balancer). It has about 1/4" clearance from t

I put in as much neg. caster as I can get. This is done by adding more shims to the back a frame bolt than the front. The settings I gave are for track only and your tire wear will suffer if you run
