Handling issue
I have ordered a set of lower adjustable control arms to dial in the caster and i hope it solves the issue. Whats an ideal number for the caster? As i have seen threads suggesting to have the caster between 5-5.5 degrees.
With regards to the driver side camber and the possibility of having a bent C, next week i am planning to take the car to the shop to get the C checked.It will be a costly fix to replace the C and purchase a new pair of Dynatrac BJs in the event if its bent.

Caster is not an exact number, but more of a range. Few X factors come into play, like what type of driveshaft and joints you have. If you get up over 4° you should be fine. Most of us shoot for that range between 4.5° and 5° IMO. What you need to account for when you see higher numbers is some folks have aftermarket axles with more caster built-in than the 6° the factory axles have. So, there is a wide range that 1) will be an acceptible amount of caster and 2) does not produce driveline vibes. Keep in mind that caster from the factory was 4.2°.
The problem got solved by installing adjustable front lower control arms and aligning the caster. I am pleased with the way how the car rides and handles now, the car is stable and feels tight on highway. It seems that the sensetive traction issue also got fixed since, the traction never kicked in on corners and sharp highway exits.



. 2.2° is crazy low. That is more like something you'd see with a 4.5" spring, not a 2.5".
