Default Re: Front axle restoration

Quote:
However, one question, looking at that axle in the picture, It will come out of the process with no caster. Shouldn't or wouldn't it be better to add the caster angle now while it's out of the car? It seems like it would or does the car's weight etc. change it somehow?

The caster is set by the radius rod (AKA wishbone), and the axle should be dead straight, that's why they're using the "sighting rods".
