I haven't measured it yet, but I am anxious to. In all of this tinkering and re-engineering I discovered that the hubs were able to articulate much more than the computer and electric servo motor would let them. So I remade the tie rod end mount to be closer to the pivot point. That means that when the computer and servo motor say " turn the max amount (12 degrees)" the wheel will actually be steering about 20% more because I changed the fulcrum-end of lever distance. See the tie rod end now versus the other bolt it used to be attached to in the close up picture.
Parking is such a dream that I end up undershooting the spot and have to let off steering at the end.
