Reviews & Ratings
EMPI front beam caster shims 1.25 degrees
An often overlooked part of lowering your vehicle is correcting the negative castor angle that adjustable front beams can cause.
If your steering wanders in cross-winds or on uneven road surfaces, doesn't self-centre or is lighter than it used to be, then your castor angle needs to be corrected.

| Fitting Info | These shims are inserted between the lower axle beam tube and the frame head to add a few degrees of positive castor, use longer beam bolts, part number: AC401401 when fitting. Calculating your castor angle on the driveway or home garage is tricky, we recommend fitting one pair to start with and add more if needed. |
