I haven't seen anyone mention scrub radious yet? That really changes the way a car can change dirrections.
is "scrub radious" the same or simular to "akerman angle?"
now that that is mentioned, the akerman angle would be affected with wider/more positive offset.
no. ackerman angle is the different turning angles of the left and right baised on the direction the the car is steered. the inside wheel will turn sharper than the outside wheel. this is because the radius of the track the inside whhel will take is not as wide as the outside wheel.
ackerman is affected by the scrub radius but is not set by it. it is set by the geometry of the steering arm on the strut or knuckle, the length of the tierod, and the position of the rack or steering box, and the track width to the hub of the car.
