More camber & castor on left or right? Sat, 11 December 2004 07:13 Go to next message
Hi all, just wanted to check something with you all..

When setting camber & castor do you need to account for the slight tilt in the roads to the left?

Lets say I want negative 2 degrees camber. Would I set the left hand side at say 2.2 and the right at 2? Or the other way around?

Same with castor, bit more castor on the left or right?

Thanks
Joel

for castor

according to the guys who set mine recently youll want +0.5 on the left to whatever you set up as .. eg.. on the left lets say 3.5 on ther right youd want 3deg

the extra half degree on the left makes the carpull slightly to the right which counter the road camber down to the left

camber

camber wont really affect road pull but when you adjust the castor it will affect the camber rate on turn in, the more castor the greater the lean over of the wheel (camber) as you turn lock to lock, you just need to make sure your clearances are ok depending on what castor you want to run... I ended up having to cut my gaurds to get the settings i wanted.
