This will improve drivability out of sight. It must drive pretty ordinary at the moment. Can you tell us what the individual camber and castor readings are because camber can cause as many drivability problems as castor problems. Also there are offset swivel bearings available to change left and/or right wheel camber and castor settings individually.
where can i get a hold of a set of these offset swivel hub bearings ?? i thougth they didnt make these anymore...

I can run 13.5 claws on 4 psi and still turn the wheel without powersteering. I wouldn't like it with any more positive caster on the road because it would start to wonder .
Reading that, it sounds like you have your positives & negatives back to front??
Too much caster can have the same effect as not enough caster.

i understand that wen adjusting the links that u can do one side at a time due the the movement in the bushes but it still wont make one side different 2 the other unless u actually weld it on so they r different
headfuck, isn't it?? Imagine rolling a long, skinny cone along its edge, the movement at the open end is much more than the point. Not entirely the same maths, but similar..
