Possible things to try on your steering- you keep saying you have too much Ackerman- I don't think that's the case,you don't have enough. To get the proper Ackerman degrees at each tire you first need the steering arms on the spindle angled to form an imaginary line (triangle) the center of the rear axle. You have your's parallel with the tire, second issue is your longer pitman arm eases steering force-so that's good but try twisting the connection for a better travel from right to left. If you were to angle the steering arms diagonally towards the imaginary triangle your turnimng radius will improve and be more responsive quicker. If the radius isn't enough move the pivot point closer to the spindle (more effort at the wheel though). Just some ideas for you to ponder!
