If you have stock type front suspension....Would you turn your steering wheel lock to lock, left to right, and tell me how many turns of the wheel you have?

That is true. But if the guys can me what they count I'd appreciate it.

Mycar was in the closer in/forward postion of the steering, and the turns were close to 4, something like 3.8 lock to lock...meaning about 16:1 ratio....
for a sports car of the time, not too bad, but for today's performance, way tooooooo loose...
not to mention the inherent design...

Thanks guys, I'll be doing some grinding on my VB&P mono leaf A-arms to get my turning radius back.

Correction...
Yesterday I said my turns, lock-to-lock were 2.25, but I drove my car today and checked again and it was actually 3.0 turns.
My day wouldn't have had closure unless I straightened out this terrible oversight!
