In a simple form if you take the wheel off the front you can observe that t=
he upper ball joint is more rearward than the lower ball joint. That is po=
sitive caster. Between the upper surface of the crossmember and the lower s=
urface of the =E2=80=9Cframe=E2=80=9D rail is a wedge that is higher toward=
s the back. This assists in moving the upper ball joint more rearward. Add=
ing additional =E2=80=9Cwedge=E2=80=9D increases the positive caster. Howev=
er, there is a limit to the wedge because a straight bolt has to tighten th=
e angled crossmember to a flat surface.
I was also told that the fulcrum pins (not sure if it is upper or lower) ha=
s an offset bias and inverting it front to back (or visa versa, not sure wh=
ich way) can increase caster. Whether the statement was made just to make =
a point, or it is actually a practical means of adjusting caster..., other =
who may have done so will have to tell you.

Thank you to all who has responded. I will submit findings shortly but for=

shed.
Thanks Again.
