  • @johntremain8403
    @johntremain8403 Před rokem +23

    You are definitely on the right path. High steering arm → straighter drag link → pitman arm. If you figure out the geometry to match the bump-to bump to the steering turn-to-turn when you do the steering arm, you can install a steering arm length to match your pitman arm... And then you won't need to change the pitman arm. But the ideal set-up would locate the high steer tie rod joint where it minimizes bump steer for on-road driving (static ride height), and then the pitman arm would be designed to match that.

    Robby on your vw trike, you might want to use a 1.4 VW TDI engine. Of course its drive by wire, but the neat thing is, you can get 75-90 mpg on it snd still have fun. Your source for that engine might be eBay UK. Those engines can be had for about $2-300, and the ECU is dirt cheap. You'll also need a throttle pedal and a wiring harness.
