Actually, bending the arms WILL change the caster,
but eccentrics WONT.

This is because the eccentrics only move the stub and not the ball joint.

Ok Ok... forgive the obvious grave-digging... but just how do you go about bending the top arms ???

I'm thinking about trying to bend a spare set I have... so wanting to know things like how you actually do the bend, where the best place on the arm is to do it, how to get the bend in the correct plan, how much bend to aim for etc.

Aussie Dubbin - yeah, cheers mate. Figure there's got to be someone has the info on how to do it hey. Yours seems to be getting close to being road ready... and definitely looks good !!!

Vlad01 - yeah, seen a few of those over time hey.... tho think it's normally sheared wheel studs rather than axles (but I could be wrong). Expensive either way I guess.

Oh and bump....
