King Pin Castor Adjustment
I am going to increase the castor on my splitty, this will help in reducing the wandering caused by side winds and bad roads. the maths has been done
by an engineer who believes the original setup is not correct for the van models...
has anyone else done this? he has made a jig so this adjustment can be done without removing the beam...
is anyone else interested in having this done?
it will improve the handling on all kombis of all years.........:thumb
Keeping it real !

The Castor on a King n Ling is FIXED and not adjustable.
I think the only way you might be able to do something is to Ream the bushes at an angle, if this is possible.
Have you looked at the steering box, to adjust to stop wandering etc. Is the drag link arm good condition.

We are going to achieve this by rotating the beam this will alter the caster
