What is a general number for caster?? how much is too much for road use??

Chanmadd: I have been playing with tyre pressure and have found 35 works pretty well at minimising the wander. no sway bar fitted yet as I want to sort out caster etc first so one thing doesn't influence the other. not too many changes at one time.

There are some photos of my build in my gallery if it helps.

Does anyone know what the taper is on the jag ball joint? is another brand the same that might be fitted to an aftermarket adjustable upper arm?

oh well failing that, I can machine the lower arm pivot mount and move the lower arm forward and re pack with spacers which in effect is the same as moving the upper one aft, but this way is less involved.

cheers for your thoughts
I have Jaguar E-type front end in mine and doe not look anything like that. That looks more like a Mustang variant.
