Re: Lost My 65
Before I went to power steering, I had a lot of play in my old manual steering box. So I chalked up my steering instability to the old worn steering box. For my upgrade to power steering, I went with redhead because wanted to have nice tight steering with no play. After I upgraded to power steering, I noticed a huge improvement in steering stability, but it still didn't have what I was wanting. So I went through all the linkage and arm connections again to make sure there weren't any warn components.
Well, I went to searching and reading the forums for some more learnin. I learned about caster, camber and toe - enough to give me the confidence to do my own alignment.
Camber and Toe weren't the issue. It was caster.
My truck had almost zero caster. I've learned that more positive caster will give more straight driving stability.
So, I started with taking two shims off the back posts on the upper arms. A definite improvement.
Going to give a it little more caster
