Feels slightly heavy on steering
Never really had an issue with self centering, but fitted a set of rose jointed top wishbones and set them up 15mm backwards to assist self centering,
steering now feels slightly heavy, which way do I need to move them to try and dial this out. have done a fair amount of work with leading link forks
on sidecars so have a grasp of lead and trail regards that type of setup, but just can't get my head round how it works on a car.

Tony, to answer your question, you need to move the wishbones further forward. We found that if you go beyond about 7 degrees, the steering becomes
heavy and the wheels tend to flop when turning. If your Indy already had 25mm setback, have you moved this a further 15mm back? ie, giving you 40mm
setback.
Best thing to do is ensure your car is level (front to rear) and use a plumb bob to accurately measure your castor. Use washers to pack the rosejoints
out and experiment with different settings until you get steering that you're happy with, in terms of self centring and feel. Once you have a
setup you like, measure the washers and machine some proper spacers.
