- well here I am again "DNO" At looking at my front end I am also wondering how exactly caster and camber would be adjusted. I have original lever arm shocks, and as it looks to me there is no way to r

- Mark, as you may have read in my threads I am also looking into this. However, I have installed the spax front and rear shocks so that my have to do with my cars front right wheel being slightly off.

- Caster is the amount a vertical line through the king pin varies from the vertical in a fore-and-aft direction (as opposed to varying from the vertical in a side-to-side direction for camber). It aff

- I know this wasn't directed to me, but thanks for the explanation. It certainly helps to envision alignment in 3 dimensions instead of 2. Dave 72 B Caster is the amount a vertical line through the k

- Hi Enrique, Er, no. What you've described above is the wheelbase. Caster is the angle of a line drawn thru the center of the king pins, to a vertical line. IOW, the king pins are tilted back a bit wh
