Alignment - Caster is Faster

osbornsm · 04-27-2017, 07:27 AM

Recently had my front SPL control arms adjusted.
Camber is now - 1.9
Caster is 6.4 up from 5.6°

This has significantly increased the steering weight and responsiveness.

It feels like there's less power steering now. But great feedback!

Yes increase caster will result in increase steering effort needed. But increasing caster increases dynamic camber.
