Just installed a t/c rod and had a test drive. It produced more momentum during a turn and more accurate handling.

But I removed right side t/c rod once to work on sway bar and reinstalled the t/c rod and the result is that the more momentum and accuracy in cornering has disappeared...

How should I readjoust the t/c rod to go back to the original feeling?

How does caster angle affect handling and cornering? Any one know?

are they adjustable tension rods? if they are stock, you cant adjust them. if they are adjustable, take it to an alignment shop and have them set 7 degrees castor
