	Steering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Steering is the term applied to the collection of components, linkages, and etc. that allows for a car or other vehicle to follow a course determined by its driver.
		The most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a hand-operated steering wheel which is positioned in front of the driver.
		Ackermann steering geometry is commonly used to allow each wheel to trace the correct path when travelling in a curve.

	Ackermann steering geometry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ackermann steering geometry is a geometric arrangement of linkages in the steering of a car or other vehicle designed to solve the problem of wheels on the inside and outside of a turn needing to trace out circle s of different radii.
		The Ackermann steering geometry arranges this automatically by moving the steering pivot points inward so as to lie on a line drawn between the steering kingpin s and the centre of the rear axle.
		The steering pivot points are joined by a rigid but in length adjustable bar, the tie rod, which is also part of the, for example, rack and pinion steering mechanism.

	RE: factory front toe spec
		"Ackermann steering geometry" approximates the correct geometry required so both wheels turn about a common point, and occurs nicely when the steering arms are designed to point toward the centre of the rear track.
		Ackermann geometry is common on road cars (low lateral accelerations) so that the wheels turn freely in corners without dragging.
		Parallel steering (wheels turn the same amount) or even Reverse Ackermann (outside wheel turns more than inside wheel) is common in racing to try and get peak force from both tyres at high lateral accelerations.

		Steering is the term for the collection of components, linkages, etc. that allow a car or other vehicle to be turned to follow the desired course of its driver.
		Tracked vehicles usually employ differential steering - that is, the tracks are made to move at different speeds, or even in opposite directions, to bring about a change of course.
		The rack moves from side to side and applies torque to the kingpins of the steered wheels via a short lever called the steering arm.

		The steering geometry causes the inner rear wheel to lift off the ground while cornering, which means the wheel can rotate faster than it is passing over the ground.
		Ackermann steering uses the angle of the stub axle arms (and often an offset on the steering column) to make the inner wheel on a corner turn more than the outside wheel.
		When we turn a corner, the steering geometry (but mainly the caster setting and scrub radius) causes the inside wheel to move down in relationship to the chassis, and the outside wheel to move up.

		At the apex, the steering is turned to the maximum amount for that turn.
		While the turn in benefit helps, it may cause a loose condition on exit due to the steering being overturned at that point in the corner.
		You may find that you notice the Ackerman effect on higher banked tracks due to the loading of the left front where as on flat tracks the left front has less weight on it causing more of a undesirable dragging condition.

		C21 Steering arm length b: This is the arm which projects from the kingpin, and it would have a rod end (aka track joint) on the end.
		C22 Steering arm initial angle c1: This is how you make the steering arms point inwards, the classic way to achieve Ackermann geometry.
		The next column uses your geometry to work out the angle of the right-hand wheel (as you look at the screen), when the left-hand wheel is turned to the Ackermann-ideal angle for that turn radius.

		What I did was to detach the port tiller from the connection bar and watched where the idle tiller pointed relative to its connection point while steering here, there and everywhere (trying to avoid hitting anybody or anything).
		Observations: Steering straight ahead: As expected the idle tiller lines up perfectly with the attachment point on the connection bar.
		I had actually intended to hook things up in a zero Ackermann mode but the bits and pieces I had brought for this purpose were not up to the task so it remains to be done.

		From: Peter Ross :- >Whilst in theory an accurate steering geometry is important if the front >tyres are not to be worn out, there is IMHO much too much importance >attached to this matter.
		In fact our first prototypes had ADJUSTABLE ACKERMANN and we found that when they were cornered at quite a high speed, yet with the inside wheel still on the deck, then WITHOUT any Ackermann compensation, they slowed down dramatically on the corners.
		Thus while any particular amount of Ackermann compensation can only be theoretically correct at a certain speed, in a corner of a certain radius with certain tyres, and certain conditions, we decided to build our trikes with nearly 100% Ackermann compensation.

		This engineering solution is attributable to Ackermann (note - this needs researching, I know nothing about him - it's not the mathematician AFAIK)
		The Ackermann steering geometry arranges this automatically by moving the steering pivot points inward so as to lie on a line drawn between the steering pivots and the centre of the rear axle.
		The steering pivot points are joined by a rigid bar, which is usually also part of the steering mechanism, for example a rack and pinion[?].

		In the theory of computation, the Ackermann function or Ackermann-Peter function is a simple example of a recursive function that is not primitive recursive.
		It takes two natural numbers as arguments and yields a natural number, and its value grows extremely quickly.
