Hi Paddy,

A few of degrees of Negative camber, as in 3mm to 5mm in at the top,
and more important is the caster angle!
The upper ball-joint must be behind the lower by about 5mm.
This is what centre's the steering when driving in a straight line.

Best of luck Bacca.

I was looking at the pictures of these UCA's in your other thread and if they were mine I'd weld a gusset across the top for additional strength. I've seen pictures of similar UCA's broken in two.

If they were CAP ones I would be inclined to follow Mick's advice.
Having said that, Tig manages monster Wheel stands at the track on them....

Caster is all-important on a road-going Mope as much as a track one

Yep 2 degrees caster for non power steering 4 degrees for power steering cars,
.5 - 1 degree of neg camber and toe in but how are you going to measure it?
Don't forget to check your bump steer!
