A obvious question that i can't find the answer to.

[BnaditCorps]

Figured it out

Due to getting several replies for the question, here it is.

Do both front sets of wheels on a HEMTT turn?

You can find the answer if you want to but you can't be bothered to look for it according to your statement

I hate the tm's they are super annoying to find info in.

If you had read the full post I was busy dealing with, and I quote "I have to go deal with trick-or-treaters."

Now though I am done, i was hoping someone could help me while i was busy, but i guess not.

also I can't seem to find the TM's on them, kind of hard to look for something in a thing you can find. All i could find is the MK 48 TM's.

What a useless thread this is.

 

[KsM715]

It is now that he edited out the question.

Sure hope I don't have the same question in the future and come here to search for an answer

Maybe it's time for closure?

I think it's time for people to think just a little, when they post.

Agreed.

I just thought, as you said "What a useless thread this is", someone should close it.

The original question was "do the front two steer axles turn at the same rate on the hemtt? "

Suggested reading , Ackerman compensation. ...

 

[papabear]

So....Do both sets of steer wheels on a HEMTT turn at the same rate?

 

[NDT]

Do all four front wheels turn? Yes. Do they all turn at the exact same angle? No. I doubt this is discussed in the TMs as it is part of the core engineering of the truck and is not adjustable.

 

[98G]

Evidence suggests . . . Clearly they both turn. Just as clearly they don't turn at the same rate. Some thought would make it obvious that if the didn't both turn that it would result in serious sideways force on the 2nd set, and that if they turned at the same rate that would also produce serious sideways forces. That's why I suggested reading about Ackerman compensation.

Finally!! An intelligent answer from someone who actually knows instead of some "useless" dribble. Thank You Sir.

 

[jbayer]

Well at least now we know what the question was.

And the wheels on the bus go round and round.

If you read further on the page you found that picture on you will see that truck has a broken steering linkage. I think you are right though. I doubt they turn at the same rate, but they do turn together.

 

[98G]

A quick search for images yields multiple pictures where it can be seen that they both turn, and not at the same rate.

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I was just thinking that if someone just didn't want to read the TM's, then all they'd have to do is a GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH. And then they could look at thousands of purty pictures. Just imagine, if each picture is worth a thousand words...... But alas, I dream.
