Weird Caster Value

[ericmaxman]

not sure abt pu but i amnon stock rubber replacement and i put a piece of timing belt.between the bust and bracket to make it a bit tighter and last longer.

Interesting fix.... How well does it hold up?

Timing belt quite thick right? can go in. I did for my old car last time, but I add the lorry tube instead. Cut into shape and wrap it in. Lasted until I sold the car......

have a look at the steering rack bush.if u are on stock tire size and the bush are worn out then it might solve the steering wondering issu and allignment issue.

the weird caster thing,i dunno.maybe some bush are damage during the impact.hard to check without making tedious inspection on each link.
for the chassis to lari a bit is hard as if the impact happen on the tire,there are lots of bush and link that will absorb the impsct first.unless the impact is so hsrd on the engine as it pulls on tye mounting soo hard that slight movement is caused.

My ex colleague did have an accident. Not major but he hit a lorry wheel which was on the road. The impact damaged his bumper and left wheel. After repair he mentioned the car pulls to the left and send to many shop do alignment also cannot solve. Finally found out his caster angle out so cannot do anything....

Caster angle lari, no fix meh? If replace lower control arm?

Yea, I am interested to know as well. Mine seems to be camber only since I see my left is negative and right seems straight lol

last time if change to normal aftermarket only last 6 month with crazy cornering and high speed on uneven road.with the timing belt on,abt 2 yrs with same style.
if normal driving i bet will be 5 yrs above.
i am saying 2 yrs because i can feel movement at high speed.by high i men 130-140kmh on uneven b-road.on normal driving will feel normal.

since last time my back is in great shape i replaced it.the rubber one is dirt cheap.now got movement again as forgot to swap the bush when channging the rack.dpnt bother to change as didnt drive it as much and if i do,no longer ballistic until some type-r wannabe think he can outrun my uncle car at a traffic light.was feeling too much freeplay.

Camber can adjust, easier than caster

Not only your lower arm. it is right up to your absorber mounting at the top. Lower arm comes from inside means left to right. Caster angle is front to back

Absober about a year old plus a bit only. Adoi

Not the 4D la

Because you reply to my 4D post mah!....

Caster angle normally should be chassis fault, absorber top mount area. Not sure of anyone who can do the caster angle.....
