Road wandering and "low" caster angle

[AWayne]

Here is my alignment sheet after 3" springs, adjustable arms, and SYE.

Would increasing caster angle help with the wandering?

Edit: im going to play with the lower arms and see how much caster I can get back without effecting pinion angle negatively

Isn't caster the thing that returns the wheels to center?

Yes.

Yes.

2.0 degrees is pretty low. For reference I changed mine .4 degrees and it was noticeable. You can probably get to roughly 5 degrees without driveline vibes, that is about where mine is with 4 inch lift.

Generally what people do is dial in caster until you get driveline vibes and then back of till they go away.

100%. I would absolutely do what others mentioned. Unfortunately Jeeps all are a touch different, I. That there’s no “guaranteed” number to set it to.

5-7 degrees is what I’ve seen a lot, but if you go too far steering is a little heavy when you’re driving slow.
I’d start at the 5-6, or just adjust to vibes and back off.

I usually adjust the wheel base with lowers and uppers adjust the caster, but that’s me, and I thought. That was the way they should go.
