Thanks for your response..and yes. I have heard from Fran Gary and my own
resident engineer
Mike Harmuth. Mike gave me the most in-depth info with formulae (math..a
four letter word)
and Gary and Fran tried to lay it out in simpler terms such as your reply.
(radians? I've used radials when flying aircraft but radians????) I think I
will just stick with the wheel that is in the car and learn to drive it as
it is.

Well, you have to define your terms. :) In either case you will turn the
steering wheel the same number of radians to get the same change in spindle
angle. A larger steering wheel means you move the rim more linear distance
to get that number of radians. More arm motion with less effort for the
same spindle angle. Conversely, a smaller steering wheel will require more
effort, but require less arm motion. Confused yet?

Maybe I'm missing something here...wouldn't a larger wheel give you more
turn for less input?
(PS - I was lousy at physics so be kind)
