It can change the geo, but it is easier to just heat, twist and duplicate on the other side than try to keep the ball at the same lateral position which is not critical. Most design around wherever the ball happens to be.
I assume you know how to perform the procedure.
Any idea what setting will be affected?
Ackerman angle? Toe?
Heat and twist is easier i know, but i have professional TIG and MIG welder next to me, had 3 trackday cars with 12 cast uprights which had at least 2 cut-and-weld parts on it with no single issue for 10 years since. I know that is not right way to do it, but can take that risk.
Still not have clear decision how to do it, but i plan to remove half of the steering arm and weld some fat plate for any extra Ackerman....14mm rod end.....
I'm eager to fit steering rack in some exact position(fore-aft) and then be able to adjust bump steer from steering arm.....actually i can move rack up and down as much as i need.....
It will be trackday car and i need much more pro-ackerman cause our tracks here had many sharp and high angle turns.
