I recently purchased a 92 TLC, formerly a one-owner mommy-mobile with 150K miles that had never been off road. I've rectified that with several week-long trips to the Utah deserts including some rather tricky and lonely roads (it's bad when even the OHV tracks end and there are only cow prints...)
In any case, here's my problem. The truck pulls annoyingly to the right--mostly a problem on the highway. Alignment numbers that came with the truck:
Left
camber: .2
caster: 2.7
toe: -.01
Right
camber: .3
caster: 2.0
toe: .04
cross camber: -.2
cross caster: .7
total toe: .03
Tires have been rotated with no change. I suspect the cross-caster is the culprit, but haven't figured out if there is a way to fix it short of getting a new front axle.
I am likely to go with an OME 2.5" lift & 33" tires soon, and wonder if tricks could be played with the OME caster correction bushings, but it seems that this would just average out the correction and do nothing for cross-caster problems.
Has anyone had cross caster problems and figured out how to correct them (or at least get rid of the pull to the right)?
