I won't bore you with all the crap I've gone through wince I bought the JK. It wanders and I think it doesn't have enough caster. Jeep won't do anything as everything is within specs and they can't find anything loose or wrong with the front end.

My caster is 4.1 degrees. Please post up your caster, lifted or not, if you have the figures. Also if you're jeeps wanders at highway speed or not

Thanks for your help

 

I'm right @ +4* caster with just under 4" of lift. I get a little wandering at highway speeds, not too bad though.

 

5 degrees per metalcloak recommendations, drives straight no wandering. 2.5 lift (actually sitting3.75 higher)

 

How do you check your caster?

 

Mine is at +4 w/ 3.5" of lift. She is wondering more than I like so going to bump up to +5 next week.

 

If you've had your truck aligned lately the alignment shop should furnish you with a readout showing before and after.

 

Thanks TJ. Will be following this thread, as I learn more each day with this jeep!

 

I just finished a long arm install but didn't measure my caster. It's a little flighty at 70-75mph but fine at 65. I'll measure it tonight when I get home from work and post.

 

Mine came to me with a 3" BDS lift and 35s... drives as near to perfect as I think a jeep can / should. drives strait and well. Even up to 80!
