Terrible Robot posted:What's Ackerman Angle, precious? Turntable steering actually achieves a no-scrub turn way better than any IFS setup, it's precisely what Ackerman geometry is trying to emulate.  OK that image has lovely transparency but hopefully you see what I mean. The only issue is that the dual rear axles will scrub, but that's an issue on conventional-steered trucks too.

A ton of scrub radius makes it easier to turn at slow speed because the tire can just roll instead of having to twist. I can see there being some issues with stability at higher speeds, but I think I remember reading somewhere that a truck tire has quite a bit of self-aligning force from pneumatic trail so maybe it would be fine.

When you have a spool of safety wire and wire pliers, every problem starts to look like a trifecta of neatly torqued and drilled bolts. It is known.

It's never come up since I've been here and I imagine it's unlikely ever to. Most of the cars that we see of this vintage are regularly serviced and rarely driven. It's probably been a long time since anyone's seen any diff failures and it would be a tall order to try to sell it as preventive maintenance

It's aircore so it's not super high, I think on the order of 5k Nm. Once you get into the fresh rock that's end of hole.

I converted that to ftlbs (freedom units that we still occasionally use in canuckistan) and thats about 3700 ft lbs. The drill I run is just about 3300. Its tiny in comparison to that one. But yeah, if you're coring and constantly flushing the hole with air or water, you don't need as much.
