The cross member between the front chassis which has the steering rack mounted its different either side so that geometry can't be right.
Assuming however the chassis IS supposed to be like that why would you need to achieve different calculations in order to get the steering and suspension set when the welds are clearly different? |
Hi Stu
I can understand your concern, it seems that if all the measurements are different, then there is no apparrent datum point from which to determine any alterations/allowances to be made.
I wish I was qualified to help, perhaps the critical dimension should be on a technical drawing that Pilgrim should be able to provide... presumably at some stage in the design procccess, these ponts would have been determined (with calculations etc)... or at least the Jig dimensions.
I think we have all done some modifications to the steering, and it seems like we rely on the experience of others to go by, rather than adhere to an exact set of geometric criteria & dimensions, as should be supplied by the manufacturer.
Keep us posted anyway
good luck
Rowly
