Uniformly? or side to side?
Radial or Bias Belted?
With many newer vehicles Caster isn't adjustable so I'd reckon that
would stay the same

What exactly do you mean by this? If the vehicle is intended to be
driven by 'joe/jane public' you leave the settings stock. If it's
going to be raced the goal more often tends towards neutral.

Perhaps you should learn something about tyre construction and
dynamics. Failing that read a few owners manual. (try the section
under towing/high speed conditions).
Duuuhhhh !

lmfao
castor does not change with pressure on most vehicles

hence my initial "leave it stock"
BUT ! if it's going to be raced or used otherwise, you adapt it for
what it's going to be used for. Simple serving the customers needs.
Well, let's see... if I raise the pressure enough to cause a 3mm change in
ride height on both front, I haven't changed camber on whit.... The 0.1
degree of caster change (also being equal) isn't going to amount to a hill
of beens since typical caster windows are about 2 degrees. Bump steer
characteristics wont change since I haven't changed tie rod angle.
Understeer/oversteer is more an effect of front to rear weight bias than
most alignment settings (though negative camber and toe out will make them
turn in better).... not forgetting that this characteristic is also affected
by other suspension geometry that is largely unadjustable (or has no
provision made for adjustment).
We'll pose a question that you wont answer anyway... what affect does camber
spread and caster spread have on steering?
You're coming up limper and lamer with each passing post. You appear to be
using a shovel to try and get out of a hole.

spread which way?

lmfao
you better redo your math
and show me your work
Jim Warman - 21 Mar 2005 20:51 GMT
It doesn't matter "which way"... caster and camber have an
inter-relationship... caster spread and camber spread have their own unique
effects.
Notice I have done no math to show and if I did, it certainly wouldn't be
shown to you.

um yea it does
i can off set a camber pull with castor
you see the numbers can be in the green
but you can still have a half a.s alignment

yup ya made up a bunch of numbers
thats what I thought
hurc ast
hurc ast

Which "numbers" are fabricated? Have someone read the manual for you....
caster "windows" are typically along the lines of 2 degrees with some even
being larger.
I would suggest that you are certainly in no position to pretend to play
'high and mighty'.....

lmfao
and the 3 mm
lmfao

lmfao
tell me warman how many camber degrees will compensate for a castor
degree
come on

What is "castor"??? Oh, yeah... it's a legume.... they used to make motor
oil from it - some racers used it right up to the '70s. Considering your
mouth, it sounds like your momma fed you a lot of castor oil in your time.
Y'see, bowser.... I don't need to answer your questions. I have absolutely
nothing to prove to you because you simply don't matter.

They give you a colour coded alignment rack?
I suppose they've got to make it for who's using it
;-)
