Is 12:1 the accepted steering ratio in a desert race car, or does it vary? What are the slowest and quickest ratios people are using. I have a Saginaw 12.5:1 in my truck right now and happy with the response but haven't driven much else in the dirt to compare it.
Also what steering angle is accepted as the norm? I understand ackerman will change the angle between the two sides, so lets measure the inside angle since it will be slightly larger. I know a 1" uniball has 30-32 degrees misalighnment which is the limiting factor on a upright with vertical uniballs, but is that considered plenty or just sufficient?
Lastly, does anyone know the ratio on a steering box from a 89-95 4X4 toyota pickup?
