Default Install help,-front end "castor"

Allright, I know you can not measure "castor" with an angle finder. Right now I have got all the arms to the same length, front lowers 23 and 1/4, front upper 18 and 7/8. The right side angle is reading 7 degrees, left side is reading 6 degrees. By keeping all the arms the same length I dont see how I can get the angles the same. Any suggestions?

Test drive it. The angle finder may just be off cause of the ground your measuring on. My frt lowers are 23 1/4, drives fine. If you have a pull to one side adjust 1/8in in to compensate on one side.

You're right, you can't measure castor, it's a bean.
