Hey guys.The Scuderia FART team has reached out for some help on the alignment setup on their 124 racer.I was asked about setting the caster.How to and the factory spec? Possibly a setup for racing purposes.I know that I should know how to set the caster,but....

Thanks for any feedback,
Craig

Caster is set using the same shims you would to set the camber. Behind the lower control arm pivot rod (whatever it's called), there are some shims. put more on the rear side, less on front to increase caster, less to decrease. Put more/less front and rear to change camber.

Craig,

What are you trying to achieve with the caster or are you just looking to find out how to set and measure it?

Here is a good thread on caster.
