[DeTomaso] Increasing Caster

[cengles at cox.net]

Dear Ken,

I have the alignment specs that document 5 degrees positive caster with my off-set bushings (hand crafted with a hacksaw). I know that milling the backside of the upper ball joint is beneficial to positive caster. I don't know how much one can gain with that modification alone.

Positive caster is good, but watch your front fender edge..... Chuck Engles
