So the Ackerman problem is aggravated by the 1 inch longer steering arm on the S-10 spindle......... right?
because
The outer tie rod ends move in an arc with the center being dictated by the ball joint.
The inner tie rod ends move in an arc with the center being dictated by the swing of the pitman arm/ idler arm.
The arcs move in opposite directions(outers back & inners forward) which causes the toe to change
The S-10s longer arm changes the geometry two ways: 1) the arc is bigger for the outer tie rods and 2)the outer tie rods are moved 1 inch further forward.
I am contemplating moving my steering box and idler arm mounting points 1 inch forward.
As in re drilling the "frame".
Its no small feat as all the mounting holes must be sleeved.
This would get decrease of one of the "changes" caused be the spindle swap (#2).
Also
This might help the slowed steering response.....or make it worse.
Anyone tried this?
