caster problem..!!

Post by carlos9999 »

hi guys. i've just had a wheel alignment done and it appears that my caster is out. the car pulls to the left a bit, im always having to correct..!!
can anyone tell me if there is a solution for this. i believe on rev 1's the caster was adjustable, i have a rev 3 tubby and have been told it isnt adjustable anymore..!!
thanks in advance guys.. :thumleft:

To change castor on rev2+ you need some Pillow Ball tension Rods such as these

I've been toying with getting a set of these as my castor is also out but it doesn't make my car pull to one side. Are your camber and/or toe settings out as it's more likely to be one or both of these causing it to pull to one side as opposed to castor.
