The tables describe the amounts of adjustment using the center and outside positions of the eccentric bushings.
The middle position eccentric bushings allow for finer adjustment increments.
The track-width is directly influenced by the size of the
wheels and tires used.

Caster is the angle between the steering pivot
axis and the vertical plane. Caster is affected not
only by the C-Hub caster, but also by the front
kick-up angle relative to the flat chassis bottom.
The table indicates how kick up angle effects
total caster.
The XB4’s stock caster blocks are 9°, but 6°
blocks are available as an option.

The XRAY alu front lower suspension holders provide great range of adjustment for the front suspension. Using different combinations of eccentric bushings, fine adjustment of front kick-up, roll-center, and front
track-width can be obtained. For more information about the influence of kick-up, front track-width, and roll centers on car handling, please refer to HUDY Set-up Book (#209100).
