Turning Circle

[MrJAT]

Years ago when I had my old defender I had the steering stops adjusted to improve the steering lock and reduce the turning circle. Does anyone know if this can be done with the Grenadier?

I did the same with my 110. Is the turning circle worse, same or better on the Grenadier?

Yes in a word, there's a similar arrangement on the front axle ~ I have photos I can post later.

Perfect thanks. Looks like there could be about 1/2" adjustment? How much clearance is there with the wheel on full lock at the factory setting?

Not sure - it's not an issue for me, so I'll let someone else jump in and investigate that if you don't mind.

Does anyone know the turning radius at full lock? Maybe something like 20 feet?

Without looking at the Ineos stats, I think you can double that 20ft to 42ft

I don't think that there are any cars, including small hatchbacks, on the market that have a turning circle as small as 20ft.

I think 44 feet turning circle would be closer to the mark.

London Taxi is a good option if you need a really tight turning circle.

Thanks. Pretty good, in between my JKU (40.8’) and Power Wagon (44’).

The turning radius is a shade over 22 feet at the wheels.
The turning circle is 44' 3".
Wall to wall, it's somewhat larger obviously because of body overhang

Sorry, I didn't read the question correctly. Turning circle vs turning radius.
Turning circle is used in UK

22.8 feet for a Smart apparently.

Electric gwaggon has a 0 feet turning circle

the current london taxi has 25 feet and all black cabs have to be under 28feet

Is that the 12 seat Flintstone model plus one amputee driving because of the footrest?

It's interesting that Rivian have gone back on their tank turn, stating it's not compatible with their ethos/environmental principles of treading lightly.
