Hello there. Negative Caster Angles were used in many vehicles prior to 1975, including Muscle Cars, Compacts and even Sport Cars. This was done due to the pneumatic effect, which is highly prominent on radial-ply tires (Which were used on almost all vehicles up until 1975) as well as being a cheaper way to counter effect the excessive effort needed to turn muscle cars, which had large iron block engines in the front. However, these vehicles when brought into shops today will have their caster made postive. Radial-ply tires are almost never seen these days, and any increase in steering effort can be counter-acted by Power Steering.
