I have a 97 LC with Dobinson stock height suspension/springs, shocks, steering damper. I had my alignment done after I installed it all.
Caster: 0.0 on both sides
camber: 0.2 left, 0.0 right
The LC does seem to dart easily at highway speed. I was hoping to correct that by getting my caster back into spec.
I've read through a bunch of bushings posts and caster correction posts but I'm still not sure what I need to do. From what I've gathered, I shouldn't need a caster correction product (correction bushings, caster plate, etc) with the stock height suspension. My caster does seem to read closer to what is experienced after a mild 2" lift or so. I'm not sure why.
Could the original bushings just be worn out enough to cause this caster? Would replacing with OEM bushings in the radius arms get me back into spec theoretically (2-4 degrees)? I don't hear any noises commonly associated with really worn out bushings, but when I looked at them they do seem dried out with micro cracks all over.
Thanks for the help
