 The way you will want to design your steering is going to depend on your drivetrain; primarily if you have a live or dead axle. The way you will want to design your steering is going to depend on your drivetrain; primarily if you have a live or dead axle.
  
-for a dead axle build, it is not nearly as crucial for you to make sure the angles of your steering assembly are appropriate,​ but you can increase or decrease your ease of turning and turning radius.+For a dead axle build, it is not nearly as crucial for you to make sure the angles of your steering assembly are appropriate,​ but you can increase or decrease your ease of turning and turning radius.
  
-for a live axle build, it is crucial that the inner rear wheel lifts off the ground during a turn. this effect is achieved in go-karts through the implementation of Ackermann, or Ackermann-like steering geometry, which is the purposeful changing of the particular angles the front wheels turn through: Caster, Camber, Toe, and King-pin Inclination.+For a live axle build, it is crucial that the inner rear wheel lifts off the ground during a turn. this effect is achieved in go-karts through the implementation of Ackermann, or Ackermann-like steering geometry, which is the purposeful changing of the particular angles the front wheels turn through: Caster, Camber, Toe, and King-pin Inclination.
