These are experimental pro drifting knuckles only. Not good for street or road racing use. Not suggested for beginner drift.

Taka tried a couple sets out and his review said:

"Gabe, This is Taka.
Thank you for keep making great parts for AE86.
Finally I was able to try 0 ackerman knucke.

Overall, I like it!!

Tested on 2 AE86.
1 with 1 inch extended stock LCA with UEO style tension rod.
Alighnment-wise, 4 deg caster, 5.5 deg neg camber.
16X8 0 offset.

20 mm short location did not gain angle due to knucle hit tension rod bolt on leading wheel. actually lost angles. 1/4 toe out to 3/4 toe out( total toes) seems work. Very agressive transision from mid to deep angle.

Another 86:
Battle version arm. Almost 2 inch longer LCA. 17X9 + 6 wheel.
Caster is set at 3.5 deg. Camber is Neg 6 degree. 5/8 toe out gave us best drivability for 20mm short location.

Both car has AE86 P/S unit. Without P/S, Keeping angle deep with one hand ( tandem situation) is almost impossible. May be 15 or 14 inch tires are ok.

I will keep playing with toe, caster, and camber and let you know.

I have found two things for your knuckle after testing.

1: for people with stock LCA, due to thickness of the knuckles, they might not find full benefit of steering angle increase.
May be you can chenge the shape? or make them little bit thinner?

2: When I was tring to keep mid angle for speed, I was having tough time keeping the angle. It tend to go full lock position. The front tire angle change V.S. Steering Wheel angle change ratio seems like little bit too agressive.
15mm short and little more Ackerman than this knukle might give more smoother change.

If you have any question, please let me know.

With right alignment, we can do backward entry. It will require more power/speed to do that.
Transition feels a lot quicker. but at full lock, the car still does not travel like S13 or S14.

Thinner knuckles or close to factory thickness will for sure gives more angle for sure.
This weekend, I will do some testing with 15mm short, little bit Ackremen knuckle on stock LCA 86. I will let you know.

Thank you!

Taka
