    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    2015 Challenger specs: 9 degrees of caster on the right side of the SRT cars?

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    Thanks Bryan. I was thinking with the right: I could turn the rear cam bolt in a bit to get to 1.0 N camber and see where the caster lands. For the left: I could turn the front cam bolt in to get to 1.0 and see where the caster lands there. Between the two sides, I should be able to get...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    This car is not a commuter, it is just a toy. I put spacers in the right side like these: The reason? I couldn't get the camber to where I wanted with the caster that I could get. I'm being reminded of how inter-related that caster and camber can be. In short, I started down the road of...

    The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

    Instead of starting a new thread, how about THIS question...... How much is TOO much caster for a classic car with power steering? I'm working on my Charger and at one point, I'm at 8 1/2 degrees positive caster with 1 1/8 degree of negative camber. It seems that the car would be hard to steer...

    I met a woman at a night club 30 years ago....she said that she worked for a local radio station. I said "That is great...you have the perfect face for radio..." She was not amused. I thought it was funny. She wasn't ugly but she had a lack of humor and that meant instant disqualification.

    That guys voice is hard to listen to. Some people speak with a pleasant tone. That guy sounds like he gargled Drano with broken glass in it.

    UTG vs DDG

    At the very least, Tony speaks in tones like a normal guy. That dork from the other channel changes his vocal inflection way too much. At the time that I rebuilt the 340 I was short on cash so I went with off the shelf cast pistons that had a lower compression ratio than I really wanted. Listen...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    My point exactly. The bubble level allows for what equates to a reset for each time it is used to measure.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    This is where there is difficulty in understanding the difference. This gauge: Does not stay in place the entire time. It can be removed and reattached. This gauge is used in a different manner than what is used on an alignment rack. Think of it this way: Turn the steering wheel 20 degrees to...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    This must be a way to check alignment that you’re not familiar with. If you refuse to watch the video, you won’t understand. This gauge attaches to the hub. Here are the instructions. If this type of tool is foreign to you, I understand. Young guys in construction used to bring...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    I know that with a strong caster angle (positive or negative) there is a pronounced tilt to the wheel and tire at full lock. Yes, I'm aware that this can lift or droop the car based on the angle. What I'm missing is how the brakes affect this in any way. I'm not rotating the tire. It does not...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    This still doesn't make sense. I have these: If you didn't see his video, here it is: He used a gauge like this: It is held against the hub. The wheel is not turned with the gauge attached, the wheel is tuned hard left and measured, then hard right and measured. New tricks on...

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    Thanks for trying but that still makes no sense to me. I watched the video that junkerup (Chris Birdsong) put on YouTube and using hand held gauge, the brakes were never touched.

    Massive caster variance Side to side

    That isn’t very clear, Rob. Why would an unlocked brake matter? Cars don’t move on alignment racks so the brakes are redundant.

    Fuel gauge reading incorrectly

    There is an option. It isn't cheap though.... At FBBO, a member there posted links to retrofit EFI gas tanks that used different sending units that appeared to have a cylindrical type of float rather than the stock type that swings in an arc. These were supposed to read with greater accuracy.

    How to fix steering slop?

    The next step is a new or rebuilt steering box. The Mopar unit is notorious for wearing out faster than other models. I had Chevy steering boxes that felt great despite being over 100,000 miles. Saginaw built the units for GM. Ma Mopar built theirs in house. The design you see in the last rear...

    Who takes three hundred and forty engines to a swap meet? I mean, I've seen guys bring 5 or 6 engines but three hundred and forty of them?

    How would you bend this frame back?

    The moderators of this site get pissed when members chat about buying or selling items in the open forum. There are rules about that. The site requires members to post a Want To Buy ad in the sales section when they need a part. I didn't make the rules, that is just the way things are here. You...

    Some trucks still use leaf springs though so your snide comment is pointless. We still use aspirin. Paper maps will always work when your GPS on your phone craps out. Ratchets and sockets work long after the cordless tool battery loses it's charge. Progress doesn't replace everything. Print...

    Pls recommend source for full AC system for non-AC 1971 5.2 L Duster

    That was the owners choice. Trying to go through the firewall on the engine side is quite difficult due to the strange placement of the # 6 and # 10 fittings on the evaporator. Vintage Air doesn't have hard line extensions to project through the firewall. They leave the fabrication of the lines...

    Pls recommend source for full AC system for non-AC 1971 5.2 L Duster

    I liked their kit when I put it in my '70 Charger. It hasn't been perfect though. I don't like the way the slide controls are designed. The A/C-Heat slide is fore and aft. This makes it hard to know which way to push or pull to get the temperature where you want it. I've had trouble with it...
