Bring it to the tire store and check for caster camber and toe!

i.e. I agree with ED.

I noticed that too when I took the picture and looked at it. I can assure you the gap between the yoke and the wheel is the same on the right side as it is on the left.

Optical illusions and perspectives are hard to see in photos. The left side view of the yoke makes it more difficult as it is a radius curve bending down and coming toward you to the axis of the wheel. Yes the right side as well, just blocked by the wheel.

I am looking for a set of flat focus macro lens rings for my Sony digital camera that won't break the bank for that reason.

I stand corrected. If I don't tell folks what I don't know, no one can correct me.

It is worth considering that the standard caster shows up as item E in the Shopsmith Most Frequently Ordered Service Parts list of 17 items.

If they held up well for everyone through the years, they likely would not have made that list. The 3" casters are exceptionally good and mitigate a host of floor / floor joint problems.

John has an exceptionally nice shop, with superior floor that I believe anyone would envy. He is first class in everything he does.
