HELP! Added lift and now traction control is on

Caster promotes self centering of the steering wheel. Its the angling back of the steering axis relative to motion traveled to create caster.

People say 2.5-3* Is ideal, but its really what you like, at those numbers the truck will pull much greater with respect to road crown then if numbers were down in the 1.5-2* area... but get too low and you will have wandering issues. I used to be up around the 3.5* mark but i have since dropped to 1.75* to make the steering lighter and help reduce the tendency to pull to the slope of road crown.



OP you really just need to get ABS codes pulled to see what the actual issue is.

 

Update on VSC. There seems to be some confusion, but i never had an ABS issue. I also did not experience my VSC kicking in when my light was on. I just had a light after the alignment was performed. Just the VSC light, and not the ABS in combo with the VSC. I took it into the shop the installed the lift, and they hooked it up to their computer. It read the VSC codes, and reset. I haven't had that issue since. I am basically just trying to make sure i have done everything right because i have zero experience.

 

Thanks for the write up on castor. It really helped me to understand what it is and why a lot more than the technical crap i've been trying to figure out. I like the feel of i driving down the road, so I am going to leave my numbers where they are for now.

 

Yeah your numbers look great. right around 0 camber and just a smidge of toe (these are the adjustments that will wear tires out, toe being the most), caster you can be at 0 or crazy high numbers like 10+ (if you could) and tire wear is hardly effected.
