I was hoping I could get some feedback on my alignment sheet. I don't know much about alignment numbers but I'm steadily learning about it. I took it to a shop yesterday after rebuilding most of the front end. I'm going to adjust my caster today to closer to 5* now that I have a good reference to work off of (the angle finder on the knuckle was somewhat problematic, probably just operator error). I still have some wandering steering and I was wondering if the camber is enough off to worry about. If it is I'm probably looking at a bent C or something.

Replaced/Upgraded - Tie rod and ends, Drag Link and ends, Pitman arm, Adjustable Trackbar, Synergy Ball Joints, Wheel Bearings, Rotors, Calipers, Brakes, Adjustable Upper and Lower Control Arms, and the rear has a trackbar relocate bracket.

Currently I have some worn (evenly) 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers and I am scheduled to have 37" MT Baja Legends installed today. I do have 5.13 gears installed but am guessing that's more or less irrelevant. After the alignment the steering was better, but still not great. I'm hoping the caster correction and new tires will be the last thing, but was looking to get some feedback. Here is my spec sheet:





Thanks!

 

You are right on the money to shoot for 5 degrees of caster. That will eliminate that wandering feel to the steering wheel. Might want to check your front drive shaft angle in relation to the front pinion after you set your caster. You may need a double cardon driveshaft to get the angle acceptable.

 

You want hat caster up to prevent wandering, shoot for 5*. Also keep in mind your BJ's are brand so new you'll get a lot of bad streering input because of that that will translate in constant wandering for a while while your BJ's get broken in. When i replaced the stockers with TF, i had to wait around 700miles or so before the Jeep started driving good again without any wandering. My caster was 5.2* before that change. After the BJ's settled down life was good again but unfortunately you have to rack miles in order for them to get better.
