Re: DIY Front End Alignment

I got it out for a spin around the block.
I took two shims out of the back post on the upper arms.
I did notice it did change camber and toe, but I just wanted to see if more positive caster would give more high speed control. It did.
I'm pretty sure it was pretty close to zero caster.
After doing more reading on the topic of caster, I'm thinking the almost zero caster was because of the manual steering and wide tires.
Now with power steering, more caster won't be an issue.
Tomorrow I'll put those two shims back in on the front post which will put my camber back where was, but also increase caster more. I'll take it for another quick run and then readjust toe.
