Of course, if you read the original post, he's already modified the steering somewhat, with some sort of power-assisted steering gear, so there's no telling how much inaccurate steering geometry he's dealing with. I seriously doubt if any 3-axis trigonometry got involved in swapping that gearbox. It's possible he's dealing with massive bump steer in addition to the caster, scrub radius, and other troubles. Some hotrodded steering systems are downright deadly in anything but a slow-speed straight line. Jerry
