RE: Frustrated steering
see, you took that the wrong way. i wasnt saying you in general where giving wrong information. alot of people are. i said everything you said about caster is correct, as it wont cause any tire wear, and cross caster will always cause a pull. this is all right, but caster also is the main factor in steering return, and you said it isnt. so, how have i given "wrong information" to anyone???

RE: Frustrated steering
Everybody on this site that has been here awhile has problay given incorrect information in some people's eyes,and i've never heard of caster having something to do with steering return,and i mean never since i've never heard of anybody with that problem,and if i was wrong about it then hey you never can always be right,and i did take it wrong i guess i thought you was stating that towards me.Sorry bro

RE: Frustrated steering
thats why i said even though you do alignments everyday you still might not understand every aspect. i know most of the people that post on here just read alot and then repeat what they have read, which is usually incorrect. ive been in the automotive industry for a long time and give input on things i have seen. next time you align a bmw look at the amount of caster it has, usually around 7° positive. thats why they handle so good at higher speeds, same with corvettes, and any other high speed car. caster is a trade off of steering return, and high speed stability. if you have alot of + caster it will feel better at high speeds, but makes them harder to turn at lower speed, and the return isnt there. if you have less + caster the wheel will return easier, but the steering response at high speeds is lower. alot of people dont understand caster as well as camber and toe, b/c most people only want the car to not wear tires, so caster isnt as important.
