Its too bad that you decided not to support adjustable "castor" settings since that is the specific part of the 350Z front end alignment that effects most people.

For example the castor on my 350Z is Left - 9.21 degrees and Right - 8.98 degrees. The 2003 35Z spec sheet calls for a range of 7.58 - 8.92 degrees. I am sure if I could fix this that along with the correct toe alignment my feathering issues would disappear.

I was waiting for your A-arms just for this purpose now I am glad I did not pre-order them.

If there is enough demand for them , I have had a few people ask, then we could look into also having a caster adjustable arm.

I have always been under the impression that caster does not affect tire wear.

Just as an update, the A-Arms I ordered Sunday arrived on Wednesday! But I haven't picked them up yet at my "resident center" of our apts so I haven't checked them out yet.

yeah but caster does affect drifting. my Z pull so hard to the right that I'm in the next lane within 3 seconds. And this is after the TSB that was supposed to address that issue.

WE NEED CASTER ADJUSTMENT!!! ugggghhhh!

That's weird. My car after the fix takes about 15 seconds to drift over. Try different roads. Some are really crowned more than others.
And just because caster is tied to drift doesn't mean it affects wear. Do all other cars besides the Z have fully adjustable suspension?


I took the A-Arms out of the box and they are pretty strong. I couldn't bend them with my hands so they must be!
