Caster should be closer to +6-6.5Me and my JT got to experience death wobble for the first time together ?
It was fine before the Fox 2.5 install and alignment. I had some bump steer before but that was it. Everything was torqued down too. Back to the shop next weekend I guess ?
Anyways, not trying to hijack this thread…just sharing lol. Before and after numbers below for informational purposes.

Yup that’s exactly where my thoughts went. I actually watched the videos from your old thread lol. I checked the ball joints, tie rod ends, and wheel bearings for wear by doing that wheel play check. Nothing, solid as a rock surprisingly.Caster should be closer to +6-6.5
Toe out to the edge of the acceptable range.
Geometry correction brackets are best, but adjustable control arms can correct the caster. They won't help impact angles to the suspension much though.
Check all steering and suspension components for proper torque and wear.
This is against Dr's orders...but when I had mine done, I learned to left-foot-break...Not even driving it for the next couple of weeks
I just had my right hip replaced and am not allowed to drive for a while. That was just this past Wednesday (3/29) and I already miss going places in her![]()
They can't do anything with caster unless you have adjustable arms or correction brackets. Stock setup there's no caster adjustment.Yup that’s exactly where my thoughts went.

I’m thinking it’s the toe now. Driver side changed by 350%. I’m gonna ask the shop to put it at 0 on both sides to see if it helps. I’ll ask about the caster too.
I’ve got all adjustable control arms so they will be able to adjust it fortunatelyThey can't do anything with caster unless you have adjustable arms or correction brackets. Stock setup there's no caster adjustment.
Then I'd definitely go to 6 for starters.I’ve got all adjustable control arms so they will be able to adjust it fortunately
Oh my, these photos are brilliant. Haven't seen architecture like the buildings in the second picture before. Adding Doha to the bucket list.Went camping in glorious weather and woke up to a sandstorm. Once cleaned and showered (Jeep and me), explored the new 'old' port district in Doha.
