I have searched and searched but never found pictures of people doing the washer mod for the caster correction on the 80's. Anyone have any pics they can throw up?
There was a good writeup on the "80's cool" site, but is gone. It's simple, move the holes where you want them and tack on washers to reinforce, make future assembly easier. What I like about it is that you can move the holes, test drive, possibly move/tweak again, then tack once your happy with the result.
I say why bother? To save money? Just buy caster plates. They are cheap and work.
Theres two holes though.. Do you do washers on both front and rear. Do you lower the rear mounting also... SOMEONE has to have a pic. ahah
Time is money. And you still don't know if it will work. Caster plates take all the guess work out.$149 bucks for those plates.... If this mod works, i would put that money elsewhere...
I just cant believe i cant find a picture. lol.

It works and is well proven. With the stock arms, no matter what method you use, you can only go so far without contacting arm to tie rod, so in the end all methods net the same result.
If your not equipped, (grinder, drill, welder, etc) this isn't the job for you. But it takes about the same tools and amount of work as the plates, but the cost is 4 fender washers.
