    Hi guys, I might have missed this - is there a positive caster angle on the front axle? I would enjoy a video that explains the axle geometry.

    Not trying to be “that guy” but you have to have your pan hard bars opposite front and back. So basically your rear upper needs to be moved to passenger side
