    Please check my numbers. Truck has OME lift with trim packer but without .5" spacer and stock UCA.

    It drives nice and straight with no wander in the freeway.

    Low Caster, like your case, can cause more exaggerated bump steer, wandering, and less self centering of the wheels.

    Hey guys, this is my first post, not sure if it's in the right thread tho. I'm currently running about a 3 in. Lift in my 2008 extended cab SR5, I've got 5100s in the front with ome 885x's set at 0" in front with TC UCAs, and a 1.5in. AAL in back. I recently did a bad wheel bearing and after going to get an alignment the guy tells me the rear alignment cam bolt was broken on the passenger and needed to be replaced... So I decided I'd have them install a new alignment bolt and cam... They ended up putting on a whole new lower control arm on the passenger side with the new moog bushings and bolts "passenger side only here"... Anyways after all said and done they go to align it and can't get the caster below 3.4 on the passenger side and the driver side is at 2.7. My question is, what could be screwing with lowering my passenger side caster? Really frustrated here, the truck bump steers like crazy, and pulls left.... Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!
