Castor angle
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2018 1:04 am
Just now I'm setting up my recently fitted Spyder adjustable front upper wishbones. My castor with equal settings was way off, -0.28' lhs, + 0.04' rhs, i.e. one side negative, and the other about zero
My Autobooks Lotus Elan/Lotus Elan +2 manual Tech Data quotes the castor as "Early, 7 degs ; later 3 degs + 5 degs" (I think this typo should read 0.5 degs)
My original Lotus manual for the Plus 2, Section C, Front Suspension, P6, shows 3 degs + 30'
I'm shooting for 3 degs and I'm looking forward to see how it works out.
Has anyone any knowlege on why the change was made from from 7 to 3 degs ?
