Re: hard steering - radials or bias ply

I guess that I'm really questioning why you thought it important enough to single-out the miniscule effect that positive CASTER would have on the effort needed to turn the steering wheel on a '34 Ford at rest, especially when the original poster clearly stated in his original post that putting slippery sheets under each front tire dramatically reduced the effort necessary to turn said steering wheel. Heck, ya can't even realistically adjust the caster on these things if you wanted to. It would make more sense to suspect low air pressure. Or, how about scrub radius? A positive value makes for more steering effort....at speed. But again, trying to read into the OP's post, he seems to be referring to slow speed and parking. I'm just surmising that sometimes, some of us may not think-through how the answer we give might REALISTICALLY apply to the information requested. DD |

Re: hard steering - radials or bias ply
I have a 51 pickup and just changed from bias ply to radials. There's no noticeable difference in the effort to turn at slow speeds but the difference in the ride and handling amazing.
