AZ has about half the amount of crown that GA has. Your advice of half a degree camber/caster will cause his car to track to the left... |

Again, .5 degrees is too much of an adjustment to make. Your 25 years of experience make much of your experience outdated. These days, most roads are divided with the crown between lanes going the same direction, meaning the left lane will be tilted down. Making this caster adjustment will cause the car to track left heavily. Also, if you bias the caster, it will only work if the crown happens to match the bias, otherwise it will still pull one way or the other. If he's driving in AZ, .5 is TOO MUCH. It's not GA or NJ. Having spent a lot of time in both states, they run 3%+ of crown, which makes half a degree fine. In AZ, they run maybe 2%. .5* is way too much. Finally, anyone that actually expects their car to perform properly on a course would be an idiot to set different caster on each side. |
