Caster help?

[Edwrds]

Ok been messing with this for awhile now what is my caster?

Driver side ground floor.

Passenger side ground floor.

At the axle. The digital reading jumps on both sides at the ball joints from 5.30to 6.80 even had a 7.00 come up. On the manual gauge it looks like I’m at 5. Sorry about the pictures using my iPad no phone.

I'm thinking 6 degrees right? When you get zero front off the axle, the housing is 6.

So I need to push it more forward I only have the lower adjustable control arms

I run six with no vibes so I left it. 15k highway miles with no issues.

Best place to measure caster is at the pinion flange. Top of the ball joints aren't very accurate and will very from side to side.

From what I'm seeing, you are sitting at 5.5 degrees. If you aren't having driveline vibrations and are happy with the steering, leave it. But if you are trying to achieve factory caster, you need to reduce it about a degree by SHORTENING the lower control arms.
