Steering Stabilizers
A word from our sponsors...
POPULAR MECHANICS MAY 1973:
START QUOTE:
If too little caster exists, the car will wander and weave,
thus necessitating constant corrections in steering.

Calvin, I would consider looking into what Harvard mentioned. I recently added the Ingalls offset castor/camber bushings, and they made the van steering very stable. Also, the Ingalls bushings are now sold by Moog. I couldn't find them anywhere and settled on what I thought was a Moog product. When I got them, the Ingalls were inside.

Changing the fore aft angle of the chassis will effect the run time +caster.
If the change results in a more nose down angle it will reduce the runtime +caster.
If the change results in a more nose up angle it will increase the runtime +caster.
The more +caster then the better the stability at highway speeds.
So goes the theory.
