RE: Official Mayhem Thread
about the ackerman steering plate
I have a comment of Speedbump=
I no longer have the Mayhem as I am now driving for Ofna.
I will however help you in anyway I can. When you put on the new ackerman plate it introduces a whole lot of what’s called bump steer. What I did to remove this was to take a ball end like the one used on the front or rear sway bar mount and place it on the bottom of the new ackerman plate in place of the stock one. What this will to it lower the steering tie rods almost back to where they were before. I seem to remember also raising the other end on the steering knuckle as well. It will work the way you have it but it will be unstable in the rough stuff which the Mayhem does not like anyway so if you can do that with the different ball end you will be better off. When you make a change like that most always you have to readjust the end points on the steering. I would check your steering end points and make sure you are getting full throw and then do the mod when you can.
Let me know if this helps.
