Insufficient Front Caster

[KR500]

One of the items overlooked may be the switch to "35 wheels and tires meant for the later years. Camber and KPI play a part ensuring that following the king pin center down to the ground should end up at the point where the centerline of the tire makes contact with the road. Wheel offset different tire widths change the specs. The reason for toe in is that with the spindles KPI (if correct) makes a cone of the front tire assembly. What happens when you roll a cone? it does not roll straight ahead. In order to accomplish a cone to roll straight ahead, you must turn the cone inward at the front. Camber changes although not critical change the toe in requirement to keep tires from scuffing. Camber is to place the front wheel weight against the larger inner wheel bearing and King Pin inclination is to place the spindle weight against the king pin bearing directly and have the king pin center intersect with where the tire meets the road.
