k1 steering problem or is it?

[Martin Wallace]

hi guys,

kit built from new the front 10 deg castors were fitted from the kit, i purchased the alloy 7.5 yokes, fitted them, problem is, now the car seems to have mega lock and when its on full lock the arms jam in and i cant turn the steering back. cant pull it even with my hand on the servo arm (currently no servo fitted)

was ok with the standard plastic ones.

why is it so tight. has anyone else came across this.your thoughts please thanks.

Some one had the same thing at srcc. I believe it was the steering arm on the wrong way round.

i did same with kit yokes. and wondered why i had bump steer from hell!!!!!

I built mine until 11:30am the next day!!!!

Needless to say my first outing was terrible. Not because I built the car wrongly but because I was so tired.
