Wheel Alignment

[Proximity Motorsport]

Hey,

I just put in new castor rods (cusco) and front whiteline camber bushes.

Befor i got alignment i had 1.6 degrees negative camber and 6.1 degress castor.

After i have 2.2 degrees negative camber and 5.9 degrees castor.

Not happy so they are doing it again for me this friday. Question is.. castor effects camber right...

Now whiteline site sais try castor befor camber... Now if negative camber reduces understeer and increasing castor makes more positive camber... how is more castor going to help...

I take it castor makes wheel base further apart so therefore better turn in.. but whats a good median... I dont care about tyre wear.. They said arm dont have enough adjustment for more than 6 degress castor without stuffing camber..

also i have adjustable rear control arms and noone will adjust my track so it is back to standard... is there a thread or easy way to adjust with a tap measure or something? I live in mackay... 1000km north brisbane

running 6.0 degrees caster is more than enough 4 any road goin car. running positive caster helps when turning out of corners it brings the wheels back straiter and also helps with the sraightline stability. hope this helps

not the point, the front still isnt sticky enough for my liking.

Just for info...

Wind in more caster, up to about 8 degrees before you'll start having scrubbing issues. Then just get as much camber as the bushes can give you. I think the whiteline kit only has an adjustable outer so you won't get much more than you have already. Run either 0 toe or a bit of toe out to help turn in.

Nothing more that you can do with what you have atm without doing something silly like add toe out on the rear.

So are you saying you want more or less camber?

Ive got some jic fixed upper arms that gave me 5 degrees neg cmaber if you want them $100

haha 5 degrees is a little too hardcore lol. Im not saying i want less camber.. im just asking.. whats the best balance?? u think as much castor as i can have and then as much camber??

r32 gtst's benefit a fair bit from a bit of extra front camber. The extra caster doesn't hurt either.
