During turns, caster tilts the outside wheel inboard at top so preventing tire "tuck under" thereby improving tire life.

Extreme caster (8* and more) will cause tire wear and is too much on a wet road with low profile tires.....car will PUSH BAD.
Four degrees is very conservative.

Everybody needs "slalom" when that autonomous Tesla comes out of the side-street.......not just for autocross guys.

VERY simple explanation (there are other factors at work)::::Caster is the difference between shopping cart wheel flutter, and a bicycle when u push it along using the seat only. Caster being the angle of the head stem where the steering bearings are.

Thank you! I get it better now

Have a Griffin in it now and it’s been leaking on both sides where the tanks connect to the core.

Looking for a new setup. Let me know what y’all suggest. Thanks!

Believe it or not, I've been using a Champion radiator since 2011 and so far haven't had any issues.

However, I've been looking at the C&R set up.

My brother runs a champion with good luck too

Small leak? If so just add the gm radiator tablets. It was actually suggested by a prc before and solved my buddies issue on his

Did you use wellnuts to install your radiator so it can move when it expands?
