Hi mate,

spacers at the top of the caster block i.e front hub furthest up = less steering

spacers at the bottom of the caster block i.e steering arm furthest down = more steering

Effects of front diff oils

Thicker:
Decreased steering response.

More stability under braking, but less turn in.

Better on power steering at corner exit.

Thinner:
Increased steering response.

Less stable under braking but better turn in.

Car will understeer on power at corner exit

Effects of rear diff oils

Thicker:
Car understeers slightly at corner entry, but makes the car
more difficult to control at corner exit (powerslides).
Increased on-throttle steering.

Better on high-traction surfaces.

Thinner:
More stability mid corner and corner exit.

Understeer on-throttle.

Better on low-traction surfaces.

Hope this helps
