His castor probably changed too if he didn't go longarm or use drop brackets.
Question:
is there any camber built into the C's that will change as the caster is adjusted? I understand that lengthening the LCA or UCA will rotate the axle to adjust castor, but does this have ANY effect on the camber also?
I'm at 4.5" with drop brackets (old Trailmaster) and stock arms. I've got brand new ball joints, hubs, UCA and LCA bushings and a metric tonne of negative camber on both wheels. Alignment is in the works, but I want to be sure I've taken care of everything I can prior to dropping her off.
As an illustration, if any of you have the SA Design book High Performance Jeep Cherokee XJ Builder's Guide--Brian Vetrano"s rig on pg 53 has about half the neg camber I'm dealing with.
Any help is appreciated
P.S. I posed this question in another thread, but realized afterward that the title for it may not get any hits on the search for titles.....
