datsunfreak Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 In my experience, they drive better with a little toe-in up front. Around 1/8". But that's with rubber TC rod bushings. Since you don't have those... ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment

mttam510 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 That's not very much caster. -1/6 total to zero toe is a good aggressive toe setting. These cars like at least 3 degrees. Since your caster and camber are linked, with the angle in which you mounted the camber plate. You can still pull caster in at the TC rod, if you don't have adjustable rods, you can machine the rod and add spacers/washers accordingly. Make sure to create a good radius at the shoulder(when you have turned the rod to eliminate a stress riser, since there is a high potential for a bending moment of the TC rod.....avoid ugly failure. Good luck! Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 be careful of running too much caster with poly-urethane control arm bushings ..... like don't try to run 5 degrees if you have poly bushings, because I've heard the control arm will bind 1 Quote Link to comment

INDY510 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm talking about poly control-arm bushings, not T/C rod bushings ... do you have stock rubber LCA bushings? If you are puting adjuatable tc rods you need use rubber bushings or get adjustble lcas, the poly bushings will bind and fail eventually. you can pretty much get away with added caster and stock rubber LCA bushings. Can't get away with it with poly. Arms wouldn't move with poly torqued off-axis. Not ideal with rubber either, but you can get away with it. when i ran more then 3 degrees of caster on my 4 door with stock lower control arm bushing's it would destroy the bushings in about 3 months 1 Quote Link to comment
