Is the caster on the CFTP adjustable?

[Tomster]

I am about to dabble in a string alignment. Obviously tow and camber are adjustable. I don't see an adjustment for caster.
Is it adjustable?

Thanks

Caster is fixed. The plates only allow for camber adjustment and as always, toe is adjustable via the tie rods.

With 7+ degrees of positive caster, the S550 is pretty well off. The range sucked on earlier Mustangs such as the Fox chassis that would kill to even attain half that.

With an aftermarket plate like Vorshlag, it’s adjustable, but the factory plates are camber only. Even the Vorshlag plates only give you +1 degree or factory.

As my base car didn’t come with camber plates I opted for Vorshlag for the added range of adjustability.

Camber/toe is infinitely more valuable on these cars.

thanks. That simplifies the matter.

It looks like the Base and the CFTP cars have a different caster. Would the spring height affect caster or is one of the suspension parts different?

Earl, spring height absolutely has an impact on measured caster numbers. There is a direct correlation between spring height/ride height and the differing caster numbers you quoted.

I just pulled up the alignment report from the track alignment I had done after putting in CFTP springs and my camber plates and the rest.

Caster is measured at 8.1 on my car (makes sense that it lines up with the CFTP setting now.

We kept Caster setting at factory in the Vorshlag camber plates.
