Just keep in mind that it is a right hand drive. Before the fitment of the track bar i had very uneven tyre wear. If i drive on a highway that is dead straight it will always pull left. If i brake hard it will pul a bit to the left but nothing to serious. I did get a print out but left it at the office. What i can remember is that the caster is only at 2.6.

Are the ome shocks/coils softer than other suspensions? My reason for asking is that if you drive straight at low speeds and pull the steering from side to side,it rocks from side to side? Like a car that is top heavy

holy crap man. so it's cupping too....
your rear trac bar is all attached and the bracket is ok? the swaying kinda sounds like that... or a sway bar link. but that wouldn't cause the tire wear....
my gutt tells me to check your tie rod ends and your ball joints. something is way wrong here...

Bracket is perfect.
I will check the tie rods and ball joints. But will this cause it to go left?

Bumping this as the description being given here is identicle to what is happening to mine also.
Hit the brakes once it goes left, let off and apply brakes again it brakes straight.
Jeep always pulls to the left on a flat road.
Rear passenger tire is wearing perfectly in center of tire, no cupping, no feathering but is wearing at an alarming rate, where as all other three wheels seem to be wearing normally and flat and no cupping no feathering either.
steering gets bumped around badly on any crack in road or pothole, brand new steering stabalizer installed (didn't fix)
Ball Joints, Rear Track Bar, C's bent? Axle Bent ? idea's ????
