How to Get Your Car to Make Sharper Turns (Steering Angle Mod)

[@chrisfix]

I am going to post some short videos on Instagram (@ChrisFixit) answering some questions like if I was able to make a U-turn instead of a K-turn now. Also I am almost at 100k followers on Instagram so be sure to follow! Once I hit 100k I am doing a giveaway of ChrisFix swag with 7,000 winners!!!

[@NeelNarayan]

Great video Chris, Loved it. Could you please do a Radiator leak testing video, I am pretty sure that it's faulty. I have Honda City 2008 model. My car gets really hot within for 1 Km of running. Please help.

[@chrisfix]

Great idea Retro GOD!

[@NeelNarayan]

Thanks a lot for replying Chris :) as replacing an entire Radiator could be really expensive, i reckon. Cheers !

Your videos are the best. Super easy to follow and High quality. I understand it takes a while to make it but it’s so worth it. Thank you Chris your the best.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks a lot man! I really work hard on getting all of the best camera angles and when I am not happy with something, I dont just put it in the video, I go out and film it again. For the quad-copter shot, I went out today (well yesterday haha) to redo that so I can match the cars better for example! I think of each video as something that showcases my work and I want every one of them to be as good as it can reasonably be in a week or two. After each video is published, I immediately start on the next video!

[@NorthernChev]

99.99% of you will not be able to just "twist off the boot" without damaging it. You've been warned.

[@fatguy70]

Deadass?

[@MojoPup]

It's not giving me any issues...oh shit...damn, anyone know how to replace a torn boot? ....lol

[@deankay4434]

The ear clamp can be worked with a flat blade screw driver to open it far enough to get the boot off. Besides, un-like most, after 30 years of dealer work, I have a bag of 50 or more in the bottom drawer of my tool box. You can buy these at the dealer alone, but plan ahead as they will have to ordered. Also, thinking outside the box, once you know the I.D., go to the irrigation section of the home improvement store and they sell these for water pipe used in lawns. Also, if you have a hydraulic line / cylinder shop in town, they carry these for low pressure return hose up to 8" I.D. ASE Master Tech since 1978/Retired.

[@sabagamer3052]

Oh come on it's so ez *Removes the boot* *Tears the boot apart* So um i am back and where can i buy replacement boots?

[@deankay4434]

Look, as an ASE Master Tech since 1978, if you are unable to remove the "Pinch" type clamp with "Ears" using a small flat blade screw driver, insert into crimp, twist back & forth carefully, then cut with side cutters. But if this make you sick, or scared / tearing the boot....do this! Rock Auto, Ford, 2002, 4.6L, steering, Rack & Pinion Bellows, select the boot / bellows that comes with ear clamps starting at $4.27 + S&H. Fixed. I have pliers well used for these clamps. Quit crying and Do It! Man-Up and get R done. Dam.

[@DeContractor2289]

[@AdamCMoreno]

[@chrisfix]

Thanks Adam! I like creating things like that to solve simple problems. I figured I could buy something but couldnt find anything so I decided to make it!

[@briansmobile1]

Dude, there's special pliers for those CV boot type clamps. "ear clamps" You can re-use them. You might want to go back and tighten them as pulling them off like that will make them loose & possibly come off.

[@chrisfix]

Only thing I’d recommend for this is that when checking how thick your spacers need to be, you should always check clearance first with the weight on the vehicles suspension.

[@RobHTech]

Good vid for folks who don't know about cars. ----sometimes, on my own vehicles, I replace the clamps, e.g., when doing a cooling system flush, with regular hose clamps. Not only do they hold better, you can adjust the tension on them, but they are also, to me, easier to work with. ESP., when you put the boot back on, it obviously is not tight anymore. -----Those "Wheel adapters" are wheel spacers. By using them, you are changing the pressure points on the suspension and bearings, wheel offset, adding more pressure to the studs, changing the wheel alignment, and tire wear could become uneven, to name a few. -----It increases scrub radius. This increases pressure on the steering rack. All these changes can make the steering wheel feel jerky over bumps, etc., affecting steering control and the tires no longer have the car's weight in the middle, or as close as possible to the middle, thus in wet or other conditions such as maneuverability can lead to wheel slippage and an accident. -----Eventually, based on my 28 years of experience, the wheel bearings or something wear prematurely and even break, even a steering rack, which ends up costing the customer boat loads of money to fix. They are considered "Safe," if installed properly, but they also can change the reactions of the suspension components, which could potentially lead to an accident. ----

[@martinthe3rd664]

Great video! It might be worth mentioning that (at least in my country) it is illegal to drive with the edges of the wheels wider than the car body, which it looks to be after you installed the spacers.

[@chrisfix]

Thanks Man!

[@saablazer]

A lot of manufacturers will use the same power steering rack in multiple cars to save money. Then depending on each car, they will put in different sized spacers. It's not a danger at speed because it doesn't change the rate at which the wheels turn, simply changes where the lock point is. The only time you will ever get to the lock point is during a U-Turn and parking. If you get to full-lock at speed, even without the limiter removed, the problem lies between steering wheel and seat.

[@chrisfix]

Truth!

[@losmazeman]

Most automotive problems spring from the location you mentioned, Once Upon a...

I thought of making videos too about the repair/customization so people could see how a non mechanic would do but I don't have much time or video editing skills. I will probably be drifting/racing in Englishtown if you go there too hopefully I get to meet you and check your car or if you want you can come anytime and check out mine too. I'm doing everything on the driveway and I learned a lot from videos like yours. Keep doing your awesome work.

@EH DK custom tie rods/mount relocation.

[@badgoy8439]

that's pretty slick, plus those spacers will give your stance that little boost it needs

[@isellcatlitter]

fine and dandy for a rear wheel drive, but with front wheel drive, AWD, and 4 wheel drive your CV joints or universal joints will tear right out on the first turn you make

[@chrisfix]

They shouldnt tear out. If you dont have a lot of angle to begin with the CV joints can take more angle especially since you only go full lock when you are going slow. For example that Fiesta is FWD and already has a lot of angle. But no matter what you definitely need to check for clearance and for binding like you said because every car is different.

[@aussiebloke609]

I was just thinking about this. What with differing designs and all, it may or may not be a problem, so it would be a very good idea to check how much angle your CV joints can safely handle first. And remember Chris, while you showed the Fiesta turning tighter, you didn't show it's actual turning angles...and the shorter wheelbase could account for that tighter radius without any more angle.

[@ShaunMMX]

That is right, smaller cars tend to have a tighter turning circle, mustangs generally have wider turning circles because they're a much longer and wider car.

[@wargames43]

Also most fast cars have a lower turning angle to prevent oversteer when cruising at lets say 100km/h so you dont suddenly pull it out at 180 degrees like a mercidise :P

[@nicholashollow9410]

It is not a advised on a 4wd truck with u-joints. The sharper the angel the more diference in speed between the axle and the tire.

[@CT_Taylor]

I like how easy it is for you to access your steering rack... so much room down there.... wish I had that kind of clearance.

[@chrisfix]

+Taylor F. Yea it’s real nice! My truck, not so much haha. What car do you have?

[@CT_Taylor]

A 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with a 3.5l V6. Its pretty cramped down there when I had to service my power steering lines. To replace the pressure hose you have to remove head shielding, fender liners, sway bar end links, a tie rod, and use a whole lot of swearing. And I lucked out, if I had the 4.0l V8 I would be screwed with less room haha.

When you checked for clearance issues, you left your car in the air, so the tyres weren't on the floor holding the car etc. So the shape of your tyres is not the same when you checked VS when you're driving. Are you sure you won't have any problem in the future ???

[@stefansantiago7186]

The only part of the tire that's compressed is the very bottom. As it rotates from the road surface it returns to its original shape.

[@coalmahn891]

& at maximum right turn wont the swar bar.. sway & rub the wheel being that close still?

[@giorgiocardello682]

In fact, it may bring some problem depending of the suspention, marckperson will make the outside wheel change its angle related to the floor so, the high side of the tire may hit the some arm of the system... But depend of the cars, wheels, tires... It's better to check it after making any change... just in case

[@haunter4708]

acrylup to add to that, when he said there was tons of space, it actually looked like about 1cm since he couldn't even fit his finger in the gap. How can this be enough when the suspension is bouncing over potholes?

[@acrylup]

Exactly my thoughts ... I guess we'll see in the future ^^

[@themickeyvoice6713]

Hello Chris, I actually just got a Mustang, Exactly like yours! Except mine is black and it is automatic :( but thank you so much, your videos really help me understand what needs to be done when I buy new things for it.

[@chrisfix]

+TheMickey Voice awesome! It’s a fun car so enjoy it!

[@paulboujabbour2015]

Did you put spacers on the back wheels? Because I saw only one pair.

[@antonio_ws6]

Paul Bou Jabbour no he didn't only the front wheels

[@aussiebloke609]

Front track is usually wider than the rear anyway, so shouldn't be a big deal.

Thanks David! Lots of time goes into the videos and I do my best to make them as good as possible!

If Chris Fix does an interior vid inside my car is going to be easier to clean

[@chanakyasinha8046]

Use vaccum cleaner or broomstick or petrol, it will dissolve allmost every dirt.

Hey Chris. When is the next video coming out i just cant wait for the next video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Wow nice editing, that over view of the car steering was incredible.

Hopefully people take in consideration of mabe some fender rubbing depending on clearance and if car is lowered or not.

[@281CubicInchesOfFreedom]

Would it be a good idea to stick wheel spacers on the back wheels too? That way the front wheels aren’t our more than the rear wheels and it doesn’t bother my OCD.

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

Captain Lag yes

[@stinkycheese804]

No it would be better to get over your OCD instead, and cheaper, and less hassle to service rear brakes and suspension, and less road grime thrown up on the rear quarter, unless you like hillbilly mud flaps. ;)

[@antlando]

Some people are so mad about how this is a terrible idea but then they don’t remember that this car is called the DRIFTstang for a reason smh

[@ronaldgreen5292]

This has always been my pet peeves with cars! If it can't make a U-turn on a normal neighbor hood street, I don't like it.

[@ronaldgreen5292]

Better words and statements unsaid 💯👍 I totally agree with this. Unfortunately, for some cars, especially the late 70's through 80's American cars were like this from the factory. Since, here in America, where we have such big and wide roads, the cars don't require tight turning radius.

Thanks bro. I think I can make that Sun dial but where do I buy the BIG red circle. 👉💪

[@TheBlork74]

There is a good reason why they limit steering angle. Usually by CV joint design. Also after any steering rack modifications, you need to do tire alignment.

[@TheBlork74]

80 % of cars in my country are fwd

[@Erowens98]

@@TheBlork74 not the kind of car enthusiasts generally buy though. Car guys will almost always go for rear wheel drive. 4 wheel drive is also seen occasionally (i believe 4 wheel drive has a similar issue to fwd)

[@tothethreshold.9965]

Usually due to not wanting to spend the money single model parts.Most modern cars are kinda parts bin builds with many parts having been manufactured for multiple options.Its simply much cheaper to limit steering angle than redesign parts of the steering and suspension system. Also, this isnt a steering rack modification, its simply removing the physical limiter.I would however still recommend checking the alignment due to adding the wheel spacers.Its entirely possible for them to change the wheel alignment.Seen it several times over the years.

[@TheAechBomb]

I don't think this would change alignment at all, just limits (which I agree should be left alone unless you understand steering geometry)
