Are you going for fender clearance on the bumpstop at steering lock?

Not sure what is commonly aimed for.

That's a good question. Maybe a good topic in the steering section.

The short answer is no. :headscratch:

I don't think full lock and full compression are going to happen at the same time. I also am more concerned with the full compression on the trailing side of the tire (behind the spindle at 2 o'clock on the wheel opening) since the car should be leaning towards the rear of the tire when the front is turned in (turn right car rolls left).

So I am looking for full lock at ride height and full compression at say 20 deg of turn angle clearing the 2 o'clock position.:confused18:

Maybe EVOD can machine this into some customs center caps for me. :lol:

LOL. Actually we are on the same page. Hopefully we're right and the fenders don't get ripped off :confused18:

Wouldn't a set of oars and a couple slaves be more appropriate?
