It gives more steering , and by lowering it you get more bump steer

What do you use for crush tubes in the front hubs. I have used 5x7x? spacers in the rear hubs but there is so little space in the fronts with the "down pivot" close to the axle.

Hi Guys, Ackerman flipped: This is at the front behind the bulkhead , its the bar that your steering turnbuckles pick up form to your starring arms, its lowed by placing shimz between the bar and the servo saver pick ups.

Axel low: the axel that the front wheel sits on, the steering arm is skimmed so that when sat in the caster block it’s at its lowest setting, its then shimed to stay low

how many shims you put in there? and longer screws as well might me needed

axel low so the shims are put at the top. that can't be a big difference right?

What setup equiptment are you using?

Just two wheelbase shims on both ( i belive the kit has one shim on the axel height- you will need to skim the bottom of the sterring arm to lower the axel) the bar and the axel , and no you don’t need longer screws.

lowering the axel will keep the front wheel closer/or pushed to the ground when the car is leaning over in a bend, but it also lowers the bumps steer, lowering the Ackerman bar resets the bump steer back to kit.

Hope this helps
