Steering

New to this, find this very informative. I recently restored a wrecked manco, for my sons birthday, front end was a mess,
after many fixes and refixes, and mods it doesn't steer to bad
corners great to the left skids a little to the right, it has about 10 degrees pos caster and 3 degrees neg camber at static with positive ackerman. Should I toe in or out? And what would have a bigger affect on the skidding in the turns?

1/16th of an inch toe in.

By skidding, do you mean oversteerr, understeer, or scrub?

I recently redid the spindles and stub axles so the king pin has 0 caster and 10 degrees camber, the stub axle has 0 camber, and control arms have pos ackerman and set the tie rods with 1/16 to 1/8 toe in. I have better handling but still seems to under steer to the right?

I'm gonna need a picture. Is this a 2-seat kart with the steering offet to one side? That would explain the unequal steering. Double-check ALL angles and even tire pressure. FWIW, a twist or tweak in the frame can cause this kind of thing, too.

Thanks, the cart is a single seat ridged frame, which I believe still is a little tweaked. Guess I will live with it for now.
