Hi,

Please take a read of:
http://blog.kartbuilding.net/2007/07/12/steering-geometry-and-setup-for-go-karts/
http://www.kartbuilding.net/racingkart/Old_Racing_Kart/ackerman.htm

The ackerman angle is very simple. The steering arms which are attached to 
the front stub-axles have to be at an angle. Therefore when turning the 
front wheels they are not parallel.

Best of luck,
