Castor Angle? Help
Castor Angle? Help
(OP)
I am running 1.5 deg. castor on my cobra replica,(double wishbone) & find the car is not "Tracking" too well. I plan to fabricate new upper & lower control arms, however, before I do, I am hoping that someone out there can give me an indication as to what an 'ideal' castor angle would be.

Check the scrub radius and wheel offset too.
If you want arrow like straight line stability, you may need arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger to steer it at low speeds.

The trail is decoupled from the castor angle because the steer axis does not have to pass through the wheel centre, in side view. The distance it is offset is sometimes called the longitudinal offset.
