No the two charts they gave me were from when I brought it after the CA install. First one is what they said my jeep was at, second one was after they made adjustments.

that's not castor its camber! Your ball joints are shot or your C's are bent

Looks ok what tires do you have ? Some will cause a radial pull.

Its normal to have .2-.3 difference side to side. The stock axle has some cross caster built in. After installing my arms i was at 3.5 and 3.8 iirc. After turned both uppers in one turn to raise it a bit. No pulling issues or vibes.

Running 37" Toyos. Have had them on about a month now. Haven't had a pulling issue until after I brought it to the shop for alignment.

I keep reading this, but mine came from the factory with equal caster on each side.

Toyo's i believe are known to pull. Take and swap the fronts side to side.

Yeah, I don't get this, but mine has a difference of 0.5* between sides with the passenger being less castor. It's enough that I have to have the control arm on the passenger side out one half turn further than driver side.
