I want to introduce more castor in my 240 wagon for little more straight line stability and steering wheel return . Currently steering wheel return is sluggish , I mean I have to rotoate the wheel to bring it to its straight line position esp. in slow turns.


Here on the board I had found this info but do not remember who had posted it.


"The caster can be made adjustable by slotting the holes in the rear mount of the lower A arm with a large round file. The slots should allow the mount to slip sideways when the three mounting bolts are loosened. This action pivots the A arm on the front bushing and thereby moves the spindle forward or backward. Moving the spindle in this way changes the angle of the strut which is the caster angle. "


So has anyone done this. What is the exact procedure.

Regards,
