Caster angle question

[drummerdad]

You can machine the pieces that hold the bushing and use shims on either side for castor adjustment.

So how critical is it to be able to adjust the caster? The kit apparently is designed to install without an adjustment. Im okay machining it, and it seems like a good idea, but should I install it and see how it works first? Im sure if I machine these parts, there wont be any warranty replacement parts.

Based on your description of intended use it is not critical imho. 4 degrees is plenty good for a cruiser.

That seems to be the popular opinion. If in the future it seems to need more, or I update to power steering, and want more positive caster, I can do the mod discussed above. Shouldnt be too bad. I think Ill just install it like it says, and see how it works then go from there.
