yeah my truck is having some MAJOR ackerman/caster issues (most due to adjusting wheelbase). i see the outside sidewall shoving dirt with the sidewalls when i turn. good explanation and i'll see what i can do about adjusting. it gets up rocks fine but it wont be winning any autocross regionals hahaha |

The funniest part of this is when Erik necro bumped this thread and said he wasn't interested in sporty he was building a sporty. |

Easy way to think about it is “ toe out in turns”. it makes the inside tire turn further in turns that’s all the kpi does . Other than that it doesn’t change any other angle in the alignment. That’s how they told us in school anyway. Positive caster/ top king pin back makes the steering return to center easier. Last edited by Rattzo1; 04-27-2019 at 05:33 AM. |
