Guys, thank you very much for your help and advice. I'll be sure to write these suggestions down to try out at the track.

A side note, per a 12r5.1, when assembling the upper arms and attaching the ball ends. If the upper ball end is at an angle, is that effectively changing the caster?

I included a screen shot below to better explain.



Here the upper ball end is essentially flat with the steering block, if it were tilted for/aft, would that be effecting the travel thus inducing/reducing caster?
