It looks to me like the radius rod on the Safe T Flex suspension would increase positive caster with the vehicle more heavily loaded, or with tired front springs. This suggests that one of the lighter body styles, or a car rarely driven with a full passenger load, would track better with caster set to the higher end of the recommended range, or even a bit more, like 3+ degrees.

Pgh…my old NASA boss (both mentor & tormentor) would say…a picture is worth a thousand words and a piece of hardware is worth a thousand pictures…

Thanks for the diagram.
