From the Chrysler Master Technician's Service Conference. Explains caster, camber, steering axis inclination and more. Good reading!

Thanks Josh, Nice find. I have read several generic web pages covering this subject, but this Chrysler booklet is by far the best.

Pages covering rear springs explained why some of the handling goblins vanished when I installed HD factory ride hight rear springs. Previous owner had installed a set with 2" more arch causing my car to feel like it was hinged just behind the rear seat.

In addition to the rear spring replacement, I installed new bushings, HD torsion bars, front anti sway bar, and sub frame connectors at the same time. These items really make the old Dart handle sooooo much better.

Now if I can solve my castor problem this winter, and rebuild the sloppy, leaking steering gear...
