M Marcin Wójcik Marcin Wójcik Feb 2, 2009 #2 Krzysiu you must search for steering ratio for a car, and then you can calculate steering lock for your steering wheel angle with this formula: steering lock = steering wheel angle / steering ratio (In this case steering wheel angle is half of lock to lock angle.) for example: BMW E46 M3 has the steering ratio = 15.4:1 your steering wheel has 360deg steering lock = 360/15.4 = 23.3deg Upvote 0 Downvote

Jamie Wilson Jamie Wilson Feb 2, 2009 #4 That would be accurate for a 720 degree rotation, Marcin as that's only to one side. ((Lock to lock rotation) / 2) / Steering Ratio = Steering Lock Value e.g. a DFP/G25 at 900 degrees: 450 / 15.4 = 29.2 degrees. Upvote 0 Downvote

Krzysztof Babij Krzysztof Babij Feb 2, 2009 #5 I usually use 450* for my DFGT wheel. So 225 / 15.4 = 14.5* (14.61) Am I right? So it looks I am very far from the real settings. EDIT: By the way, what is the real wheel rotation in the sport cars? Upvote 0 Downvote
