If I remember I believe it has about 5* of positive caster now. While it does take some steering effort it drives flawlessly with that much positive caster. Since I did the front end work and went to a drag radial it almost doesn't need a steering wheel on the track 68 Barracuda Formula S 340

They are the only double adj arm on the market that makes alignment much easier. I am not sure why you would want heim joints on the arms unless you don't care about the noise or short life.
