RE: Camber/ Caster/ Toe-in-out

To add to Thunderbird's post:
Caster will have a couple diffrent effects on handeling. Positive castor( king pin leaning backwards) will make the car more stable while going strait, also it will have less steering into a corner as well but have more steering on corner exit. Me being a oval guy, I like about 3 degreese of castor on the left and 1 on the right, but track conditions will dictate what works best. Off road will be a totaly diffrent set up but the priinipals are the same.
Heres a link to a short read about alighnments.
