As you go to a larger tire and try to go fast with racing tires slicks......you will find that the steering gets very difficult ....

If you can move your rack back so there is a 10* degree difference from the steering arm on the upright......and ball joint of the rack..... the car wiil track around a corner with ease...

And on the rear ....can you rotate the upright a small amount to get the rear bump steer going in the right direction.

Hi Morris we have fitted electronic power steering with a power column wich is fully adjustable at the flick of a switch,
we have zero bump steer as we dont like bump steer as it makes the car less pridictable,
and the ackerman is not perfect becaus we can not get the ball joint out far enough because of the brake disc but it is good enough to allow for slip angle
