[DMCForum] Re: Rich's 2nd to last straw



> I forget: Which is caster, and which is camber?

Camber is what you see on wheel chairs.  The big wheels are closer
together
at the top than at the bottom.  This gives the chair more stability.  Rear
camber can be adjusted on the DeLorean if you modify the upper or lower
control arms so that their lengths can be adjusted.

Caster is only for wheels that steer.  It is measured in degrees and is
the
axis that the wheel is hinged on as it steers.  On DeLoreans this is not
meant to be adjusted.

Toe-in is a measurement just like the name implies.  The front of the
wheels
point inward while the back of the wheels point outwards.  This is the
only
alignment spec that can be adjusted on the DeLorean (according to the
factory).  On the front wheels it is adjusted by screwing/unscrewing the
tie-rods into the tie-rod ends.  On the rear wheels it is adjusted by
adding
or removing shims on the trailing arm bolts.

Cool, eh?
