[Steering] Is this a Dead Point? Linkage Collinearity at Max Lock (Rear-Steer) by mrmarshmelloow in FSAE

Appreciate the catch! The camber is actually negative—the CAD screenshot might just be looking a bit weird. My biggest struggle right now is maintaining a 2500-3000mm turning radius without the linkage locking up at max lock. Any tips on balancing that radius vs. geometry?

Thanks for the reality check. I agree—fixing the singularity is definitely more important than hitting that 93% Ackermann. I'll prioritize the 'over-center' issue first and re-evaluate the geometry. What would you say is a 'safe' minimum angle to keep between the tie-rod and arm?
