Thanks Norval...
...for the upper cross-shaft idea. I drilled mine to increase the caster and it worked really well.
Just got it from the alignement shop friday and the car feel really stable at highway speed. I can take my hand off the wheel and the car steer straight as an arrow. The only thing left is that the 255 50R17 have a tendency to follow the imperfection of the road. Maybe my bump steer is really off.
Here the specs:
Front
Camber: -0.4 degree
Caster: 5.0 degrees
Toe in: 0.05 degree (total)
Rear
Camber: -0.5 degree
Toe in: 0.14 degree (total)
The technician worked is butt off. It took 3 hours to do it right but in the end it was perfect from one side to the other. It was all worth it.

Your welcome Stephen. Glad it helped. I am running hand made cross shafts with the holes located 1/4 inch further towards the back and at the same time about .300 more camber built in.

Those homemade shafts looks really nice. :cool:
P.S. By any chance, do you go to the Wasaga Beach in august. I'm planning my vacation to go there. We could take one or two... :cheers:
