Re: [T3] Caster angle and Wedgies!!


Per...

It is hard to describe and picture in your head so dont feel bad... Imagine
a line drawn connecting the upper and lower ball joints... factory spec is
4deg caster which means that line is 4 deg off true vertical with the lower
ball joint in front.  now if you lower it.. regardless of what you do with
the rear, both arms are moved CCW and then the upper ball joint moves
forward and the lower rearward...this  reduces the caster or even makes it
negative.  Remember that these changes are slight but make a big difference.

To imgine it in your mind imagine big changes in the rotation of the arms
and you can picture its effects on the caster angle.
