GR Yaris Caster through anti-lift kits

[Spirited]

@Sekred, @LittleMav & anyone else with the Powrerflex ones, what's the maximum caster you could get?

I brought the car to a racing outfit with stock bushes & caster at 5º24' & 5º37'. Once they installed the Powerflex caster kit, they printed a settings report showing caster figures lower than my stock ones. Once I explained that this is not acceptable, they redid it achieving 5º35' & 5º46' respectively.; the maximum they could achieve, they said. I think this added caster is so marginal that any difference it may make is negligible. With those stock figures, I was expecting to see 6º with the Powerflex kit. Also, noticing the ticking noises since then, makes me wonder if something has gone very wrong with that installation.

For the record, yes, the Powerflex kit does give the promised 0.5 degree extra caster.

So, I've been having slight clicking / ticking noises when turning the wheel while stationary or at very slow speeds.

I guess it happens at all speeds but these aren't loud noises, so I can't hear it unless everything else is quiet.

Hearing thes noises for the first time probably coincided with having the Powerflex caster kit (front wishbone rear bush kit) installed.

If you have experience of such kits, have you noticed these causing such noises? @Yaris San @Michael Knight @MarkoS @azet you probably have experience of the Whiteline caster kit, but same principle as the Powerflex. @Sekred you probably have the Powerflex!

The ticking noises remained very consistently for half a year. Then I washed the underside, changed tyres (which still had a bit of life) and they disappeared. No ticking noises for hundreds of miles now and I hope it stays that way.
