What you are referring to is the "Ackerman effect" - "invented" in the early 1800's. All cars manufactured for many decades have this designed into the steering and suspension assemblies. The reason is because the inside and outside wheels are subjected to different forces and move at different speeds as the car turns. To offest this, when the wheels are turned, inside wheel turns more, at a greater angle, than the ooutside. In addition, the camber (the tilt from the vertical) of the wheels is also "adjust". The difference between these angles increases as the wheels is turned further.

What connects a pair of Ackerman arms on a truck steering system?

A pair of Ackerman arms in a truck steering system are connected by a steering linkage, which typically includes tie rods and a steering gear mechanism. This linkage ensures that when the driver turns the steering wheel, both Ackerman arms move in unison, allowing for coordinated turning of the wheels. The design helps achieve optimal turning angles for the inner and outer wheels, improving maneuverability and reducing tire wear.

Based on the provided information, the Ackerman steering gear of the car seems to be properly designed with the correct dimensions to ensure proper steering geometry. It is important to ensure that the steering arms and rods are properly aligned to prevent issues such as bump steer. Make sure to check and adjust the alignment if needed to maintain optimal steering performance.
