Reply to "Question about caster measurement"

bosswrenchMember

I had 245-50 x 15s on 8" Campys touch the left front cowl drain pipe (full lock turns & hard braking when autocrossing ). Partially flattened an area about 3" long with a hammer/5 minutes.

Also had the right front tire touch the wiper motor shield in full lock/hard braking turns. Had to modify the shield at one bend to clear. This is with 4-1/2 degrees of caster and no shock spacers. No further physical contact in 15 yrs.

Wiper shield-to-tire contact is so common, Larry Stock at PPC now offers cleaned & painted pre-flattened wiper shields on an exchange basis.
