Re: ackerman on 50 chev straight axle

A string line from kingpins through steering arm/tie rod junctions, should end up near the center of the rear end. Opposite wheel sounds like there is some issue with your alignment or steering arms. As usual, to diagnose on a forum, a photo would be invaluable.

Heating and bending steering arms is a time-honored hot rodding technique. I've seen major magazine articles depicting this, and I've done it myself to achieve proper Ackerman. I've never heard of one failing...
