The incline changes the angle at which the king pins are located. Imagine with the standard spindles and carriers, looking at the car from the front, the king pins are completely vertical. The inclined spindles angle the king pins inward by 5 degrees at the top, towards the center of the car. This change in king pin angle changes the axis on which the spindle rotates. The pics may help.

If you're running the stock rear plate, you would want to run 0 inserts in the forward plate to provide you with 3* of anti-squat.


Note: Inclined parts are BLACK, standard parts are grey...
