The typical way to adjust caster is to use shims where the control arms mount to the frame. But I was able to make slight adjustments by turning out on one lower control arm rod end while turning the other one in. The suspension on a Kirkham is really well designed. I started with 7 degrees and brought it down to 6. That is too much for a street car from what I hear but really is fine I think on this lightweight car. If you have too much caster, then it may be hard to turn at lowest speeds. But light cars seem to do well with more caster. The pantera experts say to just put in as much caster as possible.
