mfg Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's possible to add (or take away) caster on a Stude framed Avanti's front suspension beyond the normal range of adjustment by 'shimming' the upper and lower control arm inner shafts.....True?

warren55 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I haven't done it, but I'm going to say Yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm going to say you're CORRECT Warren!....'Shimming' the front bolt on the upper arm's inner shaft, and the rear bolt on the lower arm's inner shaft, produces extra positive caster, and vice-versa.

StudeNorm Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Put a big ass helper spring in the rear spring pack and you get just that. And it is not good... I am trying to figure the best way to straighten this car out...check in later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
