Caster Front Beam

[mychatype3]

Hello all,

My 1970 Westy is in and i'm starting to get it lowered

I will go for T2d/Kieft & Klok Ball Joints flipped spindels and adjusters in the beam. I love the look of a little 8) tuck so i'm thinking off narrowing my beam 2 or 2,5inch (will drive porsche Gasburner 5,5J with 175/60 or 65 /15 and 944 brakes
and thinking 2 inch narrow is nice to look at and to drive :!: ).
The back will get lowered with horseshoes and 195/65/15 (also on 944 brakes) and perhaps one spline if it's not low enough...

When is it necessary to give the beam some caster in the lower tube?

Thanks in advance

Greetings from holland,

Ps. will open a new topic when the westy is getting in the garage

Its when you have a fairly nose down stance, mine is slightly nose down and to be honest I don't have any problems with the steering feeling too sharp/quick/twitchy etc, same on my beetle.

Ok, I will go also for a little nose down stance, i thought when you have flipped spindels the caster will also change???
