i have been fooling around with my alignment for some time.....changing things, driving for a while and noting obsevations.
one thing that puzzled me lately was:
after i aligned my rear end which involved reducing the camber from about -2.5 degrees to about -1 degree my car steered quite a bit differently. i also noticed that the rear ride height was increased as a result of changing the camber. this is just due to the way the adjustment is implimented. anyway the feel of the steering was different .....really noticeable at low speeds. when you turn the wheels and let go of the steering wheel, the car has less a tendency to straighten up.
so the long and short of this is: i think the steering change is due to the rear ride height increase and the corresponding change on the front caster. it works out to be somewhere around .5 degrees of caster change.
