Default D4 Steering End Points

I am really struggling with these. On full lock right my wheel wobbles and the sterring arm is moving about. If i add more lock it goes away a bit, but the servo saver starts to open up. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this? Any guide or angle the wheels should be at when at full lock. Was obvious on my old zx5, but really can't work it out with the D4.

full lock is basically when the wheel locks against the hub carrier and won't move any more. there is usually a bit of wobble at full lock due to the straightness of the turnbuckle link. If you set your end point just a couple of clicks past the full lock point it should be fine for racing conditions when cornering at high speed.

Ok i think i get it! Is that with the wheels off the ground so there is no resistance?

Ps - got the wheels today, left you some feedback

yes with the wheels off the ground, but with the wishbones level, not fully drooped down.
