What's the angle you have at the spot near the pumpkin of your front axle?
Yes it does, thank you very much!
From looking at everything in this thread it appears that if the pinion angle is at 0 degrees the caster is about 6 degrees. Is this correct?
Good referencesMore or less, ya. I'm not sure why [Banned Site] edit lists 88 degrees at the pumpkin but that would bring the caster pretty far out I think. Just got done adjusting again for caster after reading through this thread again .Mopar lift with 37s and a cheap Amazon digital guage that bounced from 5.8-6.3 is where I got it. Here's the photos I got to help. I only have front LCAs.
The one in Dallas north of DFW airport told me they couldn't get me in until mid February.
I did. Had the wife go short range back & forth for a good 2-3 minutes while I looked at and held/felt every joint & bearing I could get my hands on. The ONLY one that felt a little suspicious was the ball joint connecting the pitman arm to the drag link. It rotates freely (as it should being a ball, but not sure it should be that free...) but there was a slight 'click' with each directional change. I checked for loose hardware and none found.
I agree 9 is too much but I tried 5.5, 6, 6.5, etc. I don't have digital, just a dial pointer but it's still close enough. The wobble won't go away.
Nice pictures. Is the last one your lower control arm length? I started with 24 7/16" and went up from there. Maybe I need to back it off the other way...More or less, ya.

Yes it is. I' come back all the way from 25 inches!!! Back when I mistakenly thought 90 degrees at the pumpkin was 0 caster. Now the only thing is changed is the steering wheel is more precise to respond, still no wobbles. That with Nexus 2.2 set to medium and my falcon shocks set to 2.3 and it's just an incredible drive (for a Wrangler at least).
I still had a Little bump wobble going over expansion joints and other oddities on the road that went away on their own pretty quickly. Falcon Nexus stabilizer took that away immediately and now I never, ever have that bump ever after a nearly 2000 mile road trip.
My Mopar lift LCAs were 24 1/4" and it was 4.8 degrees for me if I remember correctly .
Not exactly. That had me at 3 degrees. Ended up at roughly 24 3/8" for 6 degrees. I should add that this seems to have totally solved my flighty steering.
