turning radius
I've got a turning radius of 40.8 in my 92 LX as far as I know. I'd like that to be lower. First, I'm not sure what exactly needs to be replaced. Do I have to get a whole new rack and pinion? Also, I've seen rack and pinion sets available but they're measued in ratios (15:1, 20:1). How do these translate into a 40.8 turning radius? What turning ratio would make the 40.8 that I already have?
Thanks

RE: turning radius
ive heard the limiting factor in the fox is the front control arms, they are too wide close to the wheel. some drifter/powerslide guys are trying to develop bolt on replacements that have more clearance for that same reason
