What does front caster adjustment do on a Schumacher FT8?

Front caster changes how the FT8’s front wheels tilt as they steer and how strongly the steering self-centers. More caster generally makes the car track straighter and feel steadier, with less initial turn-in but more steering through the middle of the corner. Less caster can sharpen corner entry and help reduce traction roll, but may make the car less stable in a straight line.

The FT8’s kit setting is 4 degrees, with front caster options from 0 to 10 degrees. The adjustment also affects kick-up, so make small changes and compare one at a time.

If it pushes at corner entry, try a little less caster; if it pushes mid-corner, try a little more. Watch for changes in straight-line stability and traction roll.
