Is there any way of finding out the angle of the Caster Blocks on the B4?
Apart from the bag they came in? (just to reduce the clever response from you know who...)

Thanks Rick, by that definition - mine are all standard ones. Not sure about my K-factory alloy ones though.

i'm sure they'll be what ever random angle they happen to be from the last crash, untill the next crash that is

ok more constructive the stock ones the wishbone hole is in the center of the oval shape in the molding on 20 degree holding it with the flat sides for the hub mount, rather than the tapered side the hole is lower than center in the molding and 30 degrees it's above the center in total the difference appears to be about half the diameter of the hole from 20 - 30 so it's quite hard to spot.

the predator has rear upper wishbones rather than a camber link so the caster angle can be adjusted by just moving spacers from infront of the upper wishbone to behind it

My xray has the same system. It is only employed on 4wd cars. I have never seen this system on a 2wd car. Do you think we could design a car better than any you could buy?
