Re: No "Return to Center" Steering Woes

I'm not purposely trying to be that aggressive on caster, just trying to figure out why no return to center.
I understand you didn't intentionally target the +15° Caster. For me, the question would be what issue/s would/could that amount of Caster cause? Too much of a 'good thing' logic.
Is that additional Caster impacting the effects of the steering axis/geometry side of things cycling L-to-R @ the lower speeds associated when making turns (where the steering is expected to return to center vs changing lanes type of turn)?

Personally, since you forked over the $$ for those CPP arms, I'd put the lower control arms back where they're supposed to be. Get the alignment closer to the aggressive limit for Caster (+7° is aggressive) & see if there's a difference.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
