fj62 arse end caster

Post by Claged_FJ62 »

yo dudes, my 62 looks like the caster is off on the rear when looking from the back but the axles are centred in the gaurd. Whats with this??

p.s I have just fitted new 2 inch lift springs and its the same as it was before. It dosent look like the body is twisted.

caster is to do with an axle that steers. You cannot have caster on an axle with wheels that do not steer.

Caster is the angle to which the steering pivot axis is tilted forward or rearward from vertical, as viewed from the side. If the pivot axis is tilted backward (that is, the top pivot is positioned farther rearward than the bottom pivot), then the caster is positive; if it's tilted forward, then the caster is negative.


Not sure what you mean.

If the camber was out enough to be noticeable, the rear end would destroy itself very quickly and oil would be covering his driveway.
