the main feature of castor is to return the steering back to center. More castor means the wheel will return with more force. Less =less force. When reversing a car there is no positive castor so the steering wheel will not return to center, try it.

CT 18 for all the muddy bits, spray it on and leave it for 5 mins then hose, AUTOSOL will give incredable results, use wet & dry sand paper first then hit with autosol & massive amounts of elbow grease. Hint CRC or even mixed two stroke oil spayed everywere under the bonnet will assist cleaning ...
