I could be wrong but i believe the tie rods should be mounted further out. For the tires not to scrub when turning the line from ball joint center to tie rod center should be running in towards the center of the rear. So for the new location it would be where the red dot is on the picture.
Yes you are right,to get Akerman the tie-rods ball joints and basically the differential yoke forms a triangle.
So the tie rod needs to be out pretty far,I had to use a different offset wheel on my 68`
Lower ball joints are swapped on bothe cars.
Cuda is drag only so could care less about Akerman drives superb at 137,hard on the brakes ,bouncing from a wheelstand.
68` is streetcar. drives really well,no complaints or unusual problems.
The basic challenges are ::::::: Rack wants/needs to be where the engine is
Tie-rod needs to be where the tire/wheel is.
Caster is an issue too........ to get all 3 at once.
On the Cuda the engine is back 9" so it allowed perfect bump-steer ZERO....
68` EVERYTHING is in the way, has some bump-steer but you don`t feel it. Been over 130 mph on the 2-lane many times. Drives just fine.
