16:1 vs. 24:1 steering

great isn't it
don't go too mad on tyre width and positive castor (some + castor not all available)

you got yourself Australian south african Euro specification steering :)

the specification for places with more winding lanes than 2/3/4 lane highway or urban strip (not so much these days, but In Era....)

if you swap out the idler bush for a urethane one and stick an anti sway bar on it
even better

cheaper than a bearing conversion, not quite as precise BUT less likely to casue cracked mounting
