Between 3° and 5° of caster is considered the optimum.

On my own car, I run the following (track set-up):

Front:
Camber: 3° negative
Caster: 3° 30'
Toe-in: 2mm

Rear:
Camber: 2° 45' negative
Toe-in: 3mm

mike,

do these figures take into account that the escos rides on bigger diamiter rubber and so it may be different when comparing the sierra to the escos?

also, when i fitted a 2wd front arb to the 4wd estate, the stright ahead feel was very scarey, it wanted to turn all the time, but once it was going round corners it was as sure footed as it had ever been, this is what i want to regain with the compression struts and adjustable tca's, but will i get that without the front mounted arb?
