Sounds like a by the book standard reply, without even the factory specs.

And yet, frames and springs sag, changing alignment. A factory spec would be of some help.

Dodge kept the caster minimalised, to allow for ease in turning at low speeds with the most primitive steering box. I'm not concerned with minimizing effort in the primitive steering box Dodge equipped them with, since I've equipped mine with power steering, as many here have done.

All modern vehicles have positive caster, of from two to ten degrees. It makes the steering return to center.

Has anybody here tried improving handling by increasing caster? Now much?
