Reply to "Question about caster measurement"

Caster is now at 5.25 degrees positive and it has completely changed steering in the car.  I took the car on the freeway today and the outcome of the a-arm modification is what I was hoping for.  The car now returns to center when changing lanes or turning.  Steering is significantly heavier than before the modification.  However, the heavy steering is reassuring and the car simply handles better.

I'm not sure if power steering is necessary.  At very low speeds it could be helpful while at 35 MPH or above it might be undesirable.  I have SACC's power steering on order with delivery in mid April.  I'm not sure yet If I will put it in the car.  I suppose it can't hurt to have it there since it can always be turned off.
