If you don't get any sufficient self-centering effect with 5.5deg then you have to go for more.
I think that the best solution would be a new top wishbone with 10mm more offset and rose jointed so you will be able to fine-tune the caster angle according to your specific needs.
I will seriously think of making a pair for my car as soon as i finish building it. Maybe earlier than that..
Thats exactly what I intend to do. The book bones needed an ammendment yonks ago to at least put the caster situation in the picture. Its like the rack being 27mm to long, why have the chassis brackets not been altered 13.5mm on each side to put the bump right. Surely just a few bits like this is going to make a huge difference. Improve the breed with a tinker
