I saw the product and had no idea what the heck it did. I posted a thread on here, but nobody answered. When I posted on another forum, a friend informed me of how the part gives the ability to change castor (and then told me what the heck castor is
So, just passing whatever information on that I can.

More caster will give more oversteer.

Maybe I didn't do something correctly.
It looks to me that the entire wheel is moved forward. The Nagisa Auto Adjustable Tension Control Rods shown above will move ONLY the lower ball joint, with the upper ball joint being the pivot point. I couldn't fathom a reason to add a sh*tload more caster into a Z. We already have about 9 degrees of positive caster. To move the wheel that far forward with only moving the lower ball joint, I would guess it has about 20 degrees positive caster!
Then again, I never did find an explanation for the 2 lower ball joints......
$1200.00 to adjust caster? I don't think so.

bump steer is cause by the arcs of the tie rods not being the same as that of the wheel (control arm). i don't know what effect caster has on that though.
my understanding of caster is it provides more stability at higher speeds. but i think it slows down steering response.
