  • How important is scrub radius?

    How important is it to keep the factory scrub radius? It's not hard to do unless you are going really wide, but what happens when you are way off? I remember reading a magazine that told about why it's important, but it seams that nobody really cares. I take it whatever ill-effects this causes must be pretty minor? More bump steer or something? Noob question sorry.

    Well I am sure wikipedia has something on that.

    But from my memory it is the difference in the inside and outside steering angles.

    the inside needs to turn more.

    So if it is thrown off, it will make the car push more? but only under really tight turning right?

    Someone else throw in some knowledge

    Terrible idea putting those wheels on...
