Cabbie

Wellllll......

I think you need to do a bit of research on the effects of moving the caster and the camber as you don't sound terribly 'comfortable' with the concepts. They SHOULD be in different positions (top and bottom). Without SOME caster, your kart will not steer at ALL!

You will (almost certainly) find that even if the top and bottom are set identically, thetre will STILL be some camber and caster angle. The adjustment moves the angle by (let's guess) 5 degrees but you it moves them between (again, it's a guess) 7 degrees and 2 degrees. So... whatever you do, you WILL have SOME caster.

Your best bet is to call Nick on 01353 648648. he's the nicest guy in karting today and is Simon Wrights "Numero Uno". He'll advise you.
