scrub radius affects the amount of steering effort required to complete a turn. by having deep dish wheels with more offset, you throw the scrub radius out. i have the same wheels as you. i switched back to factory wheel spec and the steering was changed drastically . also, larger diameter tires will also affect the kingpin alignment angle, that also affects the steering input . it’s not really as much of the larger tires that over stress the steering rack, when the scrub radius is farther out , any bumps or forward load on the front tires will cause the steering wheel to get snappy .
Definitely agree with you. The large offset on the front is not what you want. I'm going to build a custom long arm setup and go to a zero offset wheel. The wheels I have are definitely causing some negative handling and steering characteristics
I'm confused. What is your point of reference when you're aligning your wheels? You're simply aligning one wheel to the other wheel, but how would you know if the wheel you're aligning from is in the correct toe? Wouldn't this require a square box around the vehicle first?
I measure from a point on the chassis to the wheel to make sure they are the same on both sides. You will have to re center every time you make an adjustment.
@@DJsHotRodFabdid I miss you mentioning and doing this in the video? This wouldn't be an alignment, this would be a Toe adjustment between the wheels, but still not aligned to the car itself.
@@tommyvercetti1119 this tool really only gives you toe measurements. Most of the time that's all I do is get the toe right and then take it to an alignment shop if I need more than that.
