Well today I took the bull by the naughty parts and made some blocks to lift my rack so the track rod ends were nearly level, set the wheels to toe out by about 5 degrees and pumped my tyres up to about 25psi. It does now self centre much better but still does not go all the way to centre. I will fiddle about a bit more but gut feel is that it would be ok for IVA as it is. The thing that seemed to make the biggest difference was lifting the rack to make the track rods at less of an angle. I think it's because the caster tries to make the wheels straight but the angle of the force on the rack was trying to push it down rather than back to centre. Anyways whatever it was it's heaps better now. I might try a bit more toe out to see if it is better or not, I will also experiment further with tyre pressures.
Best and all that,
Enoch
