So how is it opposite on the YZ-2 if someone can explain that would be fantastic as I just don't get it?

Hi mate,

Confused over this now as I 100% agree with what you are saying and on my BMAX4, further forward = less ackermann, which is more aggressive.

I read somewhere ages ago that when shimming a bellcrank it was the opposite way round but now that I have been sitting thinking about it, not sure that actually makes any sense? Been googling frantically to try and find what I read ages ago but with no luck.

When I go home tonight I am gonna stick it on the workbench and change it and just view it by eye, it will be the easiest way! If I do find it before I finish work today, I will post it up here.

One thing I will add, is that ackermann is obviously dependant on the angle of the steering arm. Every car will be slightly different depending on kit standard setup. If anyone has anything to add, feel free as this is going to do my head in until I get home tonight.
