Caster and Pinion Angle
Ok I'm a rookie with these adj. control arms. I have an 08 four door with a 4" RC that has adj. Uppers and lowers. My caster is a little low at -3.7 but still drives good. But I feel like tinkering so, if I adj my caster with my upper arms is that going to throw out my pinion angle
if you shorten up your upper arms (or lengthen your lowers) to give you a bit more positive caster, your ride will feel better on the highway but, there will be more angle at your pinion and depending on what gear ratio (5.13 or higher) you are running and if you have an aftermarket u-joint style drive shaft, you will most likely feel some driveline vibrations.
Isn't it true that the front shaft usually doesn't see high rpms (2H), so you my not experience any vibrations from "bad" pinion angle there? So, if it's a mostly street driven jeep you can sacrifice a little front pinion angle for better caster.
It's on the highway that the front drive shaft vibes will cause the t-case to explode.
