[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 731311, member: 5925"] This is exactly how my 14 bolt is set up. Drawing on the difference between positive and negative caster: [IMG]https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-638655b88171aafa5f79912ce16e6a55.webp[/IMG] POSITIVE caster is the standard. According to TireRack : "Increasing the amount of positive caster will increase steering effort and straight line tracking, as well as improve high speed stability and cornering effectiveness. Positive caster also increases tire lean when cornering (almost like having more negative camber) as the steering angle is increased. What's the downside to positive caster? If the vehicle doesn't have power steering, a noticeable increase in steering effort will be felt as positive caster is increased. Other than that, the effects of positive caster are pretty much "positive," especially increasing the lean of the tire when the vehicle is cornering while returning it to a more upright position when driving straight ahead."
