Seems you would have to have both wheels off and measure the degree the upper ball joint is tilited rearward from the lower to get the positive caster. Upper would be to the rear of...

    spark plugs.....getting these things out?

    I see the Viper as one of the easiest cars on the road to work on. My first thought when I bought my 1st one was 'Dang, this thing is built for racing" the Valve cover bolts are all visible. Same as the spark plugs. All the injectors. Exhaust comes off fast. Easy to align all 4. No crossmembers...

    Wheels not ruined-good ending
