Most positive caster possible on factory strut?
How much positive caster can I get by rotating the upper strut mount? Anyone shim these with a washer or 2?

Looking to get as much positive caster as I can with the OEM strut and no caster/camber plates.




-Thanks!

You will get just a couple degrees unless you cut our redrill/slot the strut tower or top.

You can influence it more by taking all the adjustment up on the strut rods. There are enough threads to get quite alot if you run them all the way out.
