not yet, I'm talking to a guy who's gonna chop it 4.5 -5" for me... pretty drastic. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 33 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 33 | has anyone ever seen this before? when my front wheels are straight they are perfectly parrallel. but once they are turned all the way eith one direction or another the wheel closest to the direction it's turning has a more drastic angle than the opposite side... it does this on both wheels going either direction. now this truck is a frankenstein...and I do believe that front axle is from a 49 up chevy and someone narrowed it.

Its called 'Ackerman' and if you think about the circles the tires follow going around a corner it makes sense that the inner tire is making a tighter circle. I can't tell if the amount is correct, but the fact it happens is designed into nearly every car and truck made.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,068 | You'll have to take it to an alignment shop to know if it's done right or not. It's just more noticable on your truck because of the lack of fender and body,
