I've been trying to track down some loose handling, especially at highway speeds and after hitting bumps. I've replaced all tre's, the tie rod itself with a big daddy, had tires balanced, and today got an alignment. Also of note, rusty's hd tb and mount and bolts are definitely tight.
I know optimal caster is 7*. Right now, I'm at 1.26 left and 1.13 right. This is obviously lower than optimal even though my pinion angle is good. (Funny side note about that: I actually have the drive shaft pulled and zip tied to the lca because I get a funny vibe above 60 after doing my gears. I guess the ujoint is shot.) Is this whats giving me white knuckles and dirty shorts on the highway?
So I'm on 6" inches with rusty's fixed uppers and lowers. Should I shim it? How much per side? Where do I get em etc?
