Dave, you've got me doubting myself now. Let's go back to first principles. Consider a kart with 0 toe-in/toe-out and a kingpin [Z-plane] at precisely 90 degrees to both the X and Y planes. Now, imagine we tilt the kingpin back so that its at an angle to the Y-plane [the north south direction of the kart]. We don't change the angle of the kingpin in the X-plane [the east west direction of the kart], that remains 90 degrees. In other words we've induced castor [caster] but not camber. Given this, are you saying that you would need to adjust the track rods in order for the toe-in/toe-out measurements to remain the same ? If so, then that's slightly different to what I was referring to earlier.
