Steering not returning to centre after a turn.

Remeber your upper and lower arms are right and left handed. If you get them round the wrong way you will end up witn no castor or even negative castor.

When I first got mine together I had the top arms round the wrong way and I had about 8 degrees positive castor. Great for a drag car but hard on the arms when you want to turn corners.

Ideally you want about 4 degrees of positive castor. When you look at the upright from the side the top pivot should be behind the bottom pivot so the upright leans back.

Here are a couple of pics. (The rotors and calipers should look very familiar to someone on here!)

In this first pic it looks to me like the "upright" is leaning backwards. Have I got this right? Does this look to be somewhere in the ballpark???



The second picture is of the adjusting shims in front of the balljoint.
