You can't have enough caster me with stock arms. Period. You also can't properly check the ball joints by shaking the jeep. Also even if your bushings don't look cracked up, they can cause your death wobble.

Of course it doesn't matter as there is the tie rod that connects them both which will only give you one result..

You sound pretty sure of yourself and like you really don't want/need help. How did you check your ball joints? Are they stock? How did you check the bushings?

I took it over to my buddies garage and put it up on his rack. Everything checks out. No movement up or down in ball joints and no play in the bushings or cracks. I know I don't have enough caster. I'm working on getting arms. But we got my caster as close as possible with my cam bolts. I'm .23 out. Most I could get out of them. Didn't think about checking my pinion angle. Don't really see how that would be related in my issue but hell im to the point I'll try anything.
(Just changed my wording to reflect what I meant to say)
