Re: [Chrysler300] FIRM FEEL

Rather than increasing offset and the problems that could present I have  
always been of the opinion that providing negative caster will do the  same.  
I believe the Chrysler alignment guide specifies more positive  caster for 
a given vehicle without power steering.   Marv

As an aside, fitting wheel rims with a greater offset (making the  track
wider) will increase the steering effort as the car is raised when  the
wheels are turned. This gives both a more firm feel to the power  steering
and makes the car track straighter (less wander). I had this set  up on my
71 power steer Valiant and it improved the overall feel of the car  without
making it “heavy”.

I have fitted Australian 6 ½” Valiant  sports rims to my 300C increasing the
track by one inch because they are a  strong design, take the original hub
caps and are easier to get over here  than the originals. An added bonus is
the brake drums are exposed to the  air by an extra half inch. Yet to drive
it though, so I can’t give a final  judgement.

I’m not suggesting people should change their rims but don’t  be concerned
about going over the original track width by an inch or  so.

All the best
