Camber vs. castor
Why does camber plates reduce castor angle? Is there any reasons to want that? All camber plates I've ever seen moves the top of the struts forward!?!

After installing camber plates my car keeps on turning left or right depending on the last turn. I got close to maximum castor which improved this a bit. Its still not quite as good as before, though. Any thoughts on this?

Hi. It's simple. You done it more negative and after that your tires have much more contact with asphalt.That's the reason why they don't coming back.

My Cusco plates also reduced standard caster but you can get more than enough back just by adjusting the caster rod :wink: This will of course change the camber angle as well Banging head
