The Ackerman angle was corrected to: inside wheel 20 degrees, outside wheel
17 degrees. Turning circle 31+ feet. One more consideration - this system
must be kept clean and lubricated, there are no rubber boots or protective
sleeves. This is a "fair weather" mod. But it sure works!

Listers-
I got a copy of these instructions from Ramon (Thanks Ramon!) just to
see how this kit worked. Pretty complex linkage system. So my question
is, does anyone know anyone who actually installed one of these and if
so, how well did it work in terms of correcting the Ackerman angle?
Just curious- Randy
