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

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.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
