That is positive caster. Between the upper surface of the crossmember and the lower surface of the “frame” rail is a wedge that is higher towards the back. This assists in moving the upper ball joint more rearward. Adding additional “wedge” increases the positive caster. However, there is a limit to the wedge because a straight bolt has to tighten the angled crossmember to a flat surface.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I was also told that the fulcrum pins (not sure if it is upper or lower) has an offset bias and inverting it front to back (or visa versa, not sure which way) can increase caster.
