Best part of being on here is learning from others...thanks for the input!!

Here is a screen shot of what I used to set up the steering on the truck at full lock....maybe I did this wrong??

Oh come on now that's just cheating! What happened to the build it wrong ten times, get p'd off, forget about it and have the solution come to you when you are thinking about something completely different way of building? I need to get more computer savvy!
