Steeda's caster camber plates have always given you great adjustment range. Now we've added great style too, with a new machined billet aluminum top plate that looks as good as it performs. But good looks aren't the only thing these plates have going for them. The beefy 1/2 inch thick aluminum plates are and an incredible 3 times more resistant to bending than our standard steel plates, making them the perfect choice for coil-over equipped race cars that carry the entire front weight of the car through the caster camber plates.
Caster camber plates are essential for getting the most cornering performance out of your Mustang. The factory plates just don't have enough adjustment to give you a good performance alignment. Making matters worse, the factory upper strut mount bushing is soft and flexible. During hard corners the strut literally pushes the bushing out of shape, changing the alignment mid-corner. This reduces cornering grip and increases tire wear.
Steeda's Caster camber plates replace the flexible upper strut mount with a premium race quality stainless steel spherical bearing. The spherical bearing allows the strut to pivot and turn freely without the slightest bit of play or deflection. No matter how hard you corner, the caster camber plate doesn't flex and your alignment stays where you set it.
Steeda plates give you slots to adjust Caster and Camber. Factory plates only let you adjust camber, and even that has a very limited range. Steeda plates more-than-double the factory camber range, allowing a perfect alignment for everything from drag cars to road racers to "slammed" boulevard cruisers. Caster adjustment slots let you increase caster, which makes the car track straighter and provides better on-center steering feel. Increased caster also tilts the tire "into" the corner to counteract body roll and keep the tire contact patch flat with the pavement. In effect, the increased caster increases or "multiplies" the camber setting when the wheel is turned. This allows you to set less camber to keep the tire flatter in a straight line for better braking traction and improved tire life. Steeda Caster Camber Plates include recommended alignment settings for a variety of suspension setups and driving styles.
