My main 'gripe' was your use of 'draglink to describe the steering arm , mainly because it isn't a link.
This was my first and probably last use of Pitman arm, I think we can manage perfectly well with 'drop arm', track rods , and 'steering arms' with less confusion.
When I was a lad , all cars had steering boxes which implies something or other.
I have noticed the contribution of Wikipaedia to these pages but none of my stuff is sourced from there. It may be an F blue activity! I wouldn't know how to 'cut and paste' Im afraid.
It would be very easy to produce zero or even negative Ackermann and this is not uncommon on other competition vehicles.
The question remains just what is the result or purpose of the strange angles that the front wheels of a kart are designed to adopt?
