YOUR INPUT NEEDED As I am testing A-Arms, vs. performance set-ups, one thing is becoming clear. If you dail in enough caster to make it turn, you create another problem. When tipping the spindle back to get the caster in range (7 to 9 deg), the steering arm lifts up, in relation to the other steering components. I.E. the center link. One solution is to drill out the hole for the Tie Rod End in the spindle, and use a Rod-End style TRE that can be bolted up from the bottom side of the steering arm. this type of TRE gives you the ability to adjust the hight of the TRE pivit point, and tune out any bumpsteer. So, Are you guys willing to drill out the spindle, or not??What do you think about this??
