I have 1957 ford Custom 300, it has a large turning radius.

Asked by ollidrac Nov 13, 2014 at 09:40 PM about the 1957 Ford Fairlane

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Turning a simple corner requires a lot of room. Radius should be much tighter. Wondering
if a worn idler arm and drag link would cause this or possibly a worn steering box.

Turning radius cannot be adjusted on these old cars. Problem is not the turning radius but the long wheel base that you are probably not used to. You need to swing wider on corners than with a modern car.
