Re: [T3] t3 dropped spindles?


BrianS=> Dropped spindles will still affect caster,
=> but do you think it will be as drastic?

I think caster is affected by how much lower the car is in front relative to
the rear. If it's dropped evenly, caster should remain about the same. (My
car's a special case -- front-end collision left the frame horns pushed
back. That plus a minor forward tilt leaves me at about 0 caster.)

=> I was hoping to be able to design caster shims
=> this winter, ...

My mechanic successfully shimmed the 911-powered Notch with slabs of rubber
7mm thick. This is the same approach that VW used, albeit with a single part
(thicker beam rubbers). He needs more caster for drag racing.
