Yet another caster issue.

I need to check my recept tonight to see what degree c bushings were bought for my 72. I have been fighting a wandering issue, white knucke driving. Found my caster at -2.8, holy crap. Removed the bushings and found the rears were in upside down. Re checked alignment and now at 0 caster. This is getting old, fast. I will report what degree I have when I find it tonight. I have a 3.5 lift, 33's. No drop pitman, stock Trac bar. ball joints good and all front end items tight.

Yea, zero caster is not good. For a 3.5" lift you should have 7* bushings in there.

Or you could just rotate the knuckles;D

When Toms sent me the 2.5" kit, it came w/ 7* bushings.

If & when I get this on the road, what might I experience?

I think I have the wrong C bushings. I am going to order up some 7's. It drives way better with 0 caster vs -2.8
