Reply to "Has anyone tried machining the rear mounting face of the front upper ball joints to increase caster? ?"

Having the control arms redone is my last choice (difficult if not I'm possible to reverse )., Buying a full set of fully adjustable aluminum control arms sends a chill up my leg but dang $$$$   The heim joint solution sounds interesting but I can't seem to  visualize it and it doesn't sound like it retains any stock appearance. (Will check out POCA

I like the use of offset bushings to get a more caster, see how it drives and alter the balljoints if more is needed. ( Marlin Jack for spacers but , source for Poly offset bushings? )  BTW my upper body musculature is very exceptional , but then again my brain still thinks my body is in it's 30's .  I would only install power steering for my wife's sake LOL

Lowering the stance to the designed heigth is high on my list ,5/16 aluminum spacers are easy enough.  The Ackerman toe shouldn't have a big effect on the handling charactaristics or my lap times, running the "Summer Ice cream parlor GTA circuit" . Lol but it will good to know why my tire scrub sounds like a screaming banshee) 

Powersteering is high on the wish list but holding off on that final decision till I get the bleeding $$$ under control. Thanks friends

Thanks .Jerry (very) Sr
