How to figure proper ackerman with a 2" offset front axle and FORWARD arms
dreracecar:
99% of the cars built, the right side is short for engine torque, unless you race in Australia or New Zeland
Totally T:
In all honesty and i will not name names.. is there any ill effects of shortening the left side and leaving the right side long?

If you were to get drive the same car on back to back runs with the offset swapped from side to side, I'm betting you'd never know if someone didn't tell you. If it was 2 feet instead of 2 inches, it might be a different story.

With 1000's of cars being/have been built with the right side short, why would you feel the need to do it different?
Totally T:
I know a car that was..and it was the first car that I saw that was built with the right side long. Car was plagued with aborted passes due to handling.
