Possible Solution To Steering Inequality!!!

(Please note, that right and left are defined with the rear of the car close to you, and the front of the car farther away)

Ok, i am 80 percent sure i know how to fix the fact that the zzse's turn better to one side than the other. I had my ZZ dissasembled to see if repositioning the rack under the pinion would center the steering so that it would be equal on both sides. AND THIS is what i noticed!

When the bar moves to the right, it's path is uninhibited and it is free to move all the way over so that when the wheels turn right, they move to the fullest. HOWEVER, when the wheels turn to the left, the bar's throw is cut short by contact with the reinforcements around the hole where the left wheel slides into the chassis, and the servo motor stalls and makes a humming noise. My hypothesis is that grinding down the reinforcement on the left wheel insert hole or clipping some of the rack where it hits the left wheel insert hole.

I want to try it but i dont have a hobby knife and my dremel tool is far too inaccurate to do cutting on such a small scale. If anyone can try this out, it would be to the betterment of the ZZ SE community.
