Default Re: Newby with a question - Castor angle

Hey all.
Thanks for all the info.
Tinbasher, thats what i expected that it should be.

Heres a few things Ive found.
1. I need to check in more often! Sorry.
2. Ive done some calcs. Id have to drop the gearbox end by 5 inches to get even close to 6 degrees +. So its something large or a number of little ones!

The front spring is, well, sad.
I think its the biggest culprit. possibly 4 degrees or more there. Thanks Kurt in NJ.

The car is running big n littles (tires). theres 1.5 degrees of rake on the chassis.

The rest, I think might be in the ball joint.

It does have a floater motor kit in it but that shouldnt have raised the motor/trans.

Now Ive also noticed that i have a small amount of movement in the perch bolts, so time to look there Tacomabob.

KR500, I thought it might be symmetrical. Mine looks straight from across the shed so checking in detail will be a task when it comes out.
Thanks Joe K for the pointer on how to check it.

Ive added a few pics for your enjoyment. check out the album and thanks to 1crosscut for alerting me to my tardyness.

Shiney side up! A
