Changing Caster / Camber angles


Some ways to alter the caster.

According to the Haynes manual it refers to some bigger bushes to use on
the lower torsion bar tube, although I have never seen them advertised.

The other method, which I have used, is to rotate the upper and lower ball
joints. As both of these on my car have offset centers quite a lot of
adjustment is available. One thing to note, which is generally a benefit,
is that making this adjustment will alter the Camber of the front wheels
too. More negative camber considerably reduces understeer.

If this method is used to alter caster / camber make sure to have the final
adjustment done with wheel alignment equipment to make sure both sides are
the same.
