IVA steering full lock

Well one of the things my IVA failed on was 'when on a sharp turn the steering is drawn into a tighter lock rather then self centering' This was because the wheels could be turned past 45 degrees at full lock which of course reverses the self centering.

Anyway I've put spacers on the steering rack to reduce the steering lock dramatically. Just not sure how much is too much. It has a pretty big turning circle now. Not silly big in my mind. Do they have minimum turning circle requirement?

Don't know but if there was a rule about this I doubt I would have passed, with my old steering rack I literally had to power slide to get round tight bends on country roads. So you're probably OK.

there are requirements for heavy trailers for turning circle, with the outer being (radius) 12.5metres, and then the trailer not 'clipping the curb' round a 5.3 metre centre.

haven't seen anything for other vehicles though.
