Caster is a steering angle from the center line of the spindle to the center line of the upper ball joint. Positive caster is good and the more the better for high speed handling. Negative caster is like the front wheels on a shopping cart that makes it easy to roll, but is all over the place at a higher speed.

Camber is the in or out angle of the tire. Zero degrees camber would be straight up and down. Negative camber would be the top of the tire is on an inward angle.Positive camber the top of the tire would be pointed out.

Now I really confused you...didn't I?

Ignore that it's Miata ... and keep in mind we have solid rear axles so we can't adjust the back ...this article explains it not too badly ..

Howdy all.

Still waiting to find out whether it's going to be a short day or not. Linda's mom may have to go into the city to get an emergency visa from the Australian embassy. Apparently they've recently added a rule (due to 9/11) that you've got to get a visa a month in advance. Ducky!

Have a good one.

Too nice a day to be cooped up at work here. Oh well.

OC - Nice pic as usual! I like the sidepipes!

Howdee.

Been at medical appointments all morning. After putting it off for way too many months, I went in to see about the hip, leg & muscle pain I've had. X-rays were taken, I start physical therapy on May 10th, and I have some strong anti-inflammatories in the meantime.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
