Ever get around to doing the caster adjustments?

You know what...I did not! Life just has a nasty habit of getting in the way of the fun stuff sometimes. I promise I will try to get to that sooner than later. Thanks for keeping me in check.

Hey Loogy,
After taking my Van to one of the local "VW" specialists to have the alignment and AC checked, I learned again why I like to work on my own stuff. To make a long story short they couldn't do the alignment, but they were able to diagnose a bad hose on my AC system.

So, I'm going to follow your excellent write-up and the Bentley. I wanted to touch base and see if you might get a chance to add the caster part of the write-up?

Again, thanks for the great write-up.

Joe

Hi Joe,

Yeah, I ended up creating a completely new thread because the old one was too chooped up. The new one contains the caster information.

Hi, thanks for the really informative write up.

Something I did not see though is how to actually adjust the camber angle? Did I miss this?
