Thanks Bo.

I think I've sussed out my steering lock, it's just the play I need sorting out. I've been looking around the web tonight and have seen that I wasn't anywhere close to inventing the bent tie rod idea and moving the servos to the front. I thought I was being clever, but some more clever people came way before me!

There are two things I need to sort this out:
1 the ball joint ends need to be closed cap type to reduce play
2 the stub axles need to be shimmed or replaced with better fitting items

I don't know what the technical term is for the first, or the correct size, so searching for them is difficult. I'm not sure if anyone makes the second item, and if they do, who and how much they cost.

Any help appreciated.
Steve
