Default 968 Caster Blocks
Went to 17" wheels so it sounds like I need to update my caster blocks. Is replacing them as straight forward as it looks? Anything to watch out for?

Don't tighten the caster stud until the suspension is loaded...

Do you mean the eccentric or the block mounting bolts?

Um, well... there is the inaccessible plate-nut problem (plate-nuts held in place by a cheezy clip that is inside of the frame rail). If the nut gets stripped or comes loose froom the clip you get to play games with a holesaw and a mig. Just another day in 944land....Bruce
