another caster question

Post by YN67highlux »

hey guys,
got a lux with 2 inch extended shackles. after seeing the guys at arb about the steering and reading a few threads i now realise i need caster wedges. the thing is when i went for a wheel alignment last week the report said it was out -0.1% and the guy said that i dont need them and explained it to me as if i am supposed to get as close to 0 as possible? is this right? it steers alrite on the road but near impossible to drive on dirt ova 60ks. any help would be great

you should have a couple of degrees of negative castor, 0 is pointless.

You mean positive? Pretty sure the spec for my LN106 is 5° positive.

Yep, he means positive. Stock is 1 to 3 degrees. But with larger tyres you will want to go more depending on size.
