The Ford Barn - View Single Post - A-V8 steering caster

Some caster can be set by the length of your rear wishbone mounts. I try to set the caster with bones or hairpins at 5-7 degrees at ride height. I also try to put about 8 degrees caster in the front cross member. I find most quality dropped axles either new or an axle dropped by a competent shop to have the correct camber. I also like my toe in at an 1/8 for radials and 3/16 for bias belted tires. I put this information on the front crossmember of all my customer chassis.
