caster/Pinion angle ln106
does anyone know what is factory, angle or caster
and in the rear I've heard to run 1 deg of difference but witch way i don't know (i think up)

got copies of my last 2 wheel alignments
one company +1.5* +-75* (+0.75* - +2.25*)
second company +1* +-45* (+.55* - +1.45*)

my caster measurement is +3.5* at 1 shop (done nilly 1 year ago)
+3.3* (done a weeks ago)

angles I'm reading with digital protractor front
gearbox 3.4* up (86.6*)
Shaft 20.5* down
Pinion 6.5* up (83.5*)

without getting custom caster wedges made (witch you can from usa just not local)
my choices are 1,2,3,4 and 6*

rear
gearbox 3.4* down (86.6*)
Pinion 9.3* up (80.7*)

5.9* deg difference
can't get 5* so 4 or 6* is what ill need if i get local,

4* will leave me with 1.9* up
and
6 will be 0.1* down

doing my own reading/research what i can is next to nothing on factory caster, but pinion angle, most are fitting 80 series high mount pinion, and rewelding the knuckles to zero the angle of the 3 uni (at pinion) to run parrell to the tailshaft

now i won't be doing either of those, just shimming

any help with any info or spec is much appreciated

Thanks john
farting is alot like jxxxxxg off. both provide instant gratification, but neither is a long term solution to the actual problem......................
