Please excuse my ignorance, but why don't they self center when you add some caster? Is a pair of adjustable A-arms all you need? Or is this just to pass the SVA which self centering specs are unrealistic?

So what sort of caster numbers do you guys run normally? I can't live w/o lots of caster. I need the wheel to spin itself to center under power, especially at AutoX. Then again Im not a great driver and tend to over steer a little bit .

What actually is the inherent problem that causes the lack of self-centring on them?

Is it that the Indy top wishbone adheres to the incorrect book 11mm castor that should really be 22mm?

Cheers,
James
