Re: Crossover steering question

The drawing obviously is not to scale, but I took great care to draw the spring lengths exactly the same for each view, so the travel should be a good representation. You can see how it travels slightly backwards as the suspension travels up.

I scaled the length of the linkage to match the spring length, from the few pictures I could find, you can see how it's arc does indeed approximate the arc of the springs as they both travel with the suspension. This is why the stock GM steering does indeed help reduce bumpsteer.
