The thing that made me lose more time in the design phase
of ADY
was the steering, but because it worked fine, I have kept in ADY-2.
What I have changed are the tie rods and the central triangle to avoid
a hardening problem at the end of the movement. In practice there is a
greater lever arm.
In ADY (steering)
you can find other interesting details on the building
Remember that
they are only ideas and, even if I had no problems till now, I
do not assume responsibility about dimensions.

For the
angles I have given 4° of negative camber, in order to improve
the road-holding in curve and to reduce the overall width.
The axis of the steering, that passes for the center of the spherical
joints, has 18° regarding wheel “kingpin”
and
22° on the vertical line (to have a negative
5 millimeters of steering offset ) and now an inclination
“caster” of 13° plus an
advance of steering of 16 millimeter (so we have 40 millimeters at
ground).
Connecting road of the steering is mild steel of 6 millimeter, inside
a 10mm tube, threaded
M6 to the extremities with self-lubricating
spherical joints
(in my case SKF SIKB 6 F).
