    Just double checking, but I want the axle like this /----------\ looking from the front correct?
    Instead of \------/ for the angle of the kingpin tubes....

    And about 10* caster right?
     
  2. Usually about 6-7 degrees caster is what ya' need.

    The camber required today vs. what was needed 40 years ago has changed. 1 degree positive camber or even a little less is all ya' need for today's highways.

    Ok, just double checking, just wasnt sure if there was some strange occurance with straight axles where you would want the wheels angled out(camber)....
