Re: [Amc-list] Replacing strut-rod bushing



Would this work or just induce scrub?
Don't you have to change the actual anble between the "balljoints, Kingpin"?
You would not change the angle just by moving the spindle up and back.
It sounds like a great idea if it would actually do the trick.
IIRC, I got 7 degrees pos caster on my right side and 5 on the left.
With road crown I have no pulle at all.
These numbers are from my cheapy caster /camber gauge. A tool I'm real glad I bought!
