Default increasing and decrease steering?

whats the best way to adjust this, im sure i read somewhere but cant find the thread it was something to do with where you place the gold washers on the caster above and below gives more and less steering?

am i imagining things?

I usually do this by turning the steering wheel further or less...

raising the links on the front will generally give more turn in on the front. same for the back. ie, higher is more grip into corners so high front low back will give more turn in.

not quiet that simple
raising the inner link on the front generates more turn in, raising it on the outside at the front gives it less turn in,
raising it on the rear inside gives the rear end less side bite which lets it slide in corners and rotate more
, riasing it on the rear outside so wheel hub lets it stay more upright in a turn most times and lets it slip more causing less side bite, in general

Hi, to give you less aggressive steering, try taking out the gold washer completely from under the front outer ball link on the hub and move it to the inner most hole on the front hub, then move the inner camber link on the front shock tower to the inside upper position.

I also run a front anti roll bar.

Make sure your steering links are in the rear most position on the ackerman bar.

I also run the car in long wheelbase on the rear wishbones but not the hub for added stability and less rotation.

Lastly I run no weights at all on the car and always use 25 wt oil in the rear dampers to keep it supple.

Try that, it seems to work for me.
