playing with caster is stuiped and makes the car handle funny and messed up

If done correctly it achieves a desired result, seriously Nash don't call things stupid just because it's not how you would do it....

Increasing Castor makes it much more stable at high speeds and will make the self centering firmer which is what the OP is trying to achieve.

I have my toe set to about .05 degrees toe-in, and caster is set to 90' specs, but I will play with them a bit.

I drove the car all over the place yesterday and it worked great so far, the rack seems to be happy with this pressure. I can steer as fast as I want and it feels the same, no weird stuff. I can't find anything about a pressure relief valve in the rack, I think those are only used in older recirculating ball type steering gear boxes.

I don't care this is my obsvation I did not like it when I was having fun at auto x or windy roads, funny part is I ended up with 2 adjustments
