Turning radius

[blackdog]

<font color=black>I've been getting a kick out of some of the new Chevy commercials for SUV's which highlight improved, tighter turning radius. Made me chuckle. because my K5 can almost drive sideways, the radius is so tight. I can shoot into parking spaces I've almost missed by just turnin the wheel all the way and magically squeezing in. My '95 mustang could never do this. Should I just grin at the fact that I can do this, or should I worry that my stops are set way too wide? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever hit any stops....hmmmm....a 1 point 180...cool....

My turning radius decreased a smidge witha 4" lift. I put on a lifted steering arm. I can turn tighter to the right than I can to the left. Turning around within your own wheelbase would be SAWEET.

i am sure your stang can turn that tight, just need to whip the rear round.
as for your radius is your stearing stock?
or do you have cross over?

<hr></blockquote><font color=black>As far as I know it's stock, but I've only recently gotten it. My mechanical education has some serious gaps, so I learn while I do (with a shop on speed dial in case of emergencies

) How exactly would you tell if you had crossover?
