Caster is most likely to be seized, and yes symmetry is much more important than having one side right and one side wrong.

Yes you need both sides the same.

Any of the bushes can be seized, which can affect... well pretty much everything.

I'd bet money on a 00 having more than 2 seized bushes.


Plenty of threads on seized bushes and a compromised geo.

This'll do you.



Go for max castor though - you may get it out to about 6deg 45m.
Every track setup I have found uses stock camber ~6deg or more.
I'm guessing this geo setup is for a RHD car and for a LHD would just be a reversal?

sorry to reopen an old threat, just trying to find some details on setups for my geo as it needs to be redone.

an MY00 with BBS 17". LHD, 5ft 10" but very biscuit laden driver

No.
It makes no difference, the settings are the same both sides.
The only cars I know of that would differ l/r are those on an oval circuit like NASCAR where wedge and jack are tuned per side.
The slight difference in numbers is purely down to the tolerance of the equipment 1/15 th of a degree is VERY small

If you set the geo with a drivers weight in the seat it may give better real-world results.
But it's not so important until balancing the car by corner weighting etc.
