945 SE / caster adjustment ? 900 91

posted by  someone claiming to be kevin walsh on  Sat Jul 7 03:29 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am attempting to align my '91 945 SE wagon. The car has right pull with all specs in the green. I have seen and attempted to "slot" strut mount(per FAQ) , not much difference but some caster change with much offset. The FAQ makes no mention of caster adjustment. The rack is a john bean, I am setting it to correct model ('91 945 SE-15" tires). Car has brand new tires which I have swapped around and "road force" balanced. 3rd try, same pull. leaning in the direction of spring/strut replacement.

any input appreciated.

Caster is aligned via replacement radius rods with differing lengths. Instead of this, look at your ride height and spring sag on various wheels. My kid's 940 had a persistent pull to the right; replacing both springs on one side solved it.
