2nd gen camaro and howe centerlink

[speedjohnston]

Just to keep this out of Brians build thread, I was going to use the stock centerlink and the Howe idler and pitman arms with there tie rod ends. the centerlink you can see is sitting a little funny when the wheels are pointed straight and wasn't going to work.

I switched to the Howe centerlink and cut the front off the crossmember (still needs to have a plate welded on) and the centerlink sits very square with the engine now. My cut needs to be grinded a little.

My question has to do with the Ackerman. The car is built for the street and high speed road racing, so the Ackerman under racing conditions if its not crazy will have little effect (debateably). I had the cars front wheels raised and turned the steering side to side and took some measurements. I realize this is not the most accurate method but for some using the centerlink the ackerman issue seemed obvious, but I seem to have very little difference one way or the other. This could be because of the pitman arm and idler I am using? How obvious is it when its out? Just looking for opinions while I finish figuring out the front suspension.
