View Full Version : too less caster, no good?

After installing a set of spl t/c rods, I have been trying different adjustments.

I came to decrease the caster to 5 degrees from the stock angle. Now handling is feather light and I like this although high speed cruising is a little unstable.

My question is if this too little caster would stress other suspension components or the t/c rod itself and damage them. Will it?

do the rods even have provisions to decrease your caster 5 degrees???? decreasing your caster will decrease driver effort turning the wheel under hard driving situations however it will also have a very large negative impact on your cars overall handling. high speed cruising is one of them or even just whipping around corners. personally I run 9 degrees caster in my car and it makes the wheel snap back more when whipping around and fight me a little bit but it increases stability and handling substantially. why you would ever want to install something like that and run your car that way is beyond me. I doubt running your car that way will cause any extra stress on your components and you would probabbly be fine.
