    the steering wheel will return faster after a corner and your front end will look like a dragster when turned

    depends on the weight of the vehicle, and scrub radius.

    Too much + caster combined with too much scrub radius can trigger the evil death wobble.

    Search function is your friend. Less caster, easier to steer, more caster harder to steer but more stable at speed. There is a happy medium in there, 7 degrees.
