need to get this sorted as having some trouble, getting a lot of sidwards pull on both acceleration and deceleration, which i think could be down to unequal caster settings, do normal four wheel alignment places deal with this or is it a bit more specialised, i live in south west if any one knows of any were that could help cheers

i set my caster to 5.5 deg this helped some what but.....

what cured my torque steer altogether was the fitting of the minispares xpin diff

have you got the tea trolley affect????

remember if you increase your CAMBER you decrease your caster !

make sure all the suspension bushes are all in order firstly and the subby mounts to the shell!

im unaware of places in your area unfortunatly, but i'd suggest trying to find a local racer and ask them who they use. General places wont know how to measure or adjust castor which will definatly (providing sus/sub bushes are all good) be the problem if its happneing under breaking. Small posability that the ends arnt matched i.e the car is crabbing as this can also cause similar problems

Yep they should do,In the reception area there are loads of pictures of race cars and kit cars they have set up

You get a big printout of what the settings were before they started and what they have adjusted them too
