obviously the caser in the front is adjusted by the tension rod, but how do i know what degree it is, what is the center line for 0* to tell if its going negative or positive. my caster looks fine but ive messed with the tension rods after re vising everything.
but how do i spec it out to the degree of my liking, or measure it?

thanks,
bk

well the right way is to take it to a laser alignment shop.

what you should do is center the wheel in the wheel well and match the tension rod lengths on the two sides.

you can ghetto measure caster angle by using an angle finder and measuring the angle of the coilover versus vertical.
