Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use.
Ackermann Linkage:
Steering system in which the track rod is shorter than the distance between the king-pins, causing the inner wheel to turn through a greater angle than the outer wheel when turned. When vehicle is travelling straight both wheels are parallel to each other. When the wheels are turned a difference in wheel angle occurs and increases as more lock is applied.
