It's hard to tell from the pic how aggressive that neg. camber actually is, it's a weird angle...


Ok...but I thought it was the other way around. Adding caster moves camber in positive direction, more negative camber= less caster??

3 up to 5 positive caster

And large carpenters “L square” is helpful to set a rough camber before the trip to the alignment shop. Measure difference from top and bottom of 15” rim edge. 1 degree is 0.26” difference. 1/2 degree is half that distance: 0.13”


Thanks yet again, autoxcuda for sharing your wisdom. I'll keep that on a card in my pocket for whenever I can get to the shop. laugh

Too much negative camber has obvious drawbacks but what's the downside to too much positive caster?


Just remember 1/4” to get one degree

Too much caster is some debate on that. Just everyday driver ho-hum car could get tire wear from over 3 deg caster.

I think over 6 degree is no difference. Also caster changes increases/changes scrub radius. There’s some weight jacking from it you see on a set of scales. Depending on your setup, that could be bad or good.
