caster angle help
i just about have my front suspension built and my control arm mounts are built but my question is how much caster angle do i need. its ind of like a mustang II setup. if i put the ball joints in line with each other that is zero caster i think but can the front end shop adjust it at the upper mounts?if not how much do i need?

Re: caster angle help
About 1-2 degrees will be about right. You will need a caster-camber gauge to measure it. It probably has slots in the upper control arm mountings to adjust it.

Re: caster angle help
when i made the upper mounts i did put a 1.5 inch vertical slot for adjustment but i didnt know if it would adjust caster as well as camber.

Re: caster angle help
Yes. To adjust more caster move the front bolt out & the rear in an equal amount & you will have the same camber.
