So far my knowledge Ackermann is better Steering System , it cant slip in curves and all wheels to have their axles arranged as radii of a circle with a common centre point.
Now all modern modern cars are using Rack and Pinion because of its simple mechanism .
Can Someone explain this to me ?
John Davies
Rack&Pinion is not an alternative to Ackermann. R&P is an alternative to other, outmoded, means of pushing and pulling the steering rods, such as worm§or, screw&nut, cam&peg. Ackermann is a geometry for the steering arms, whose line should cross on the midline at the back axle. This ensures that the outer front wheel turns less than the inner, and follows a greater radius through a corner.
