    The steering should feel heavier and the car should get tighter when u back steer...also could hurt bumpsteer a bunch because steering arm moves up and down more threw travel

      I understand the bump steer aspect. Why would steering feel heavier and why would it cause the car to get tighter as you back steer?

        More caster in the RF, during backsteer, loads the RF and LR more by increasing LR bite.
        Bill W. and Dr. Bob......who could have known.

          Steering feels heavier because with more caster tire doesn't want to turn from straight , and with more in RF than LF it will not want to turn right . You want some more in right than left , but not an excess amount.

            Caster is kinda like bind in the spindle...the more u have the harder the spindle is to turn back and forth...also the more u have in the rf the more it will lift that corner of the car when u turn right...that is what makes it tighter becuz its adding wedge
