Phantom of the Opera
Some time ago, I got around to finally putting on a fresh left upper control arm, and new upper inner bushings, the car has had a very slight pull to the right....
the caster is set with upper joint behind lower joint, per stock spec....I think that is positive, as I recall, like a motor bike....
so because it pulled to the right, I figgered the more caster the better, I pulled the left arm loose and switched some shims around, putting about 1/16 or less in the front, and adding same to the back...all I really did was swap shims so to leave camber alone.....
NOW, it pulls much MORE to the right.....WTF???
:bonkers:
obviously I need go back and then proceed from there.....but I figgered it would pull to the side with MORE caster, not less....
