Caster

[Ryan1]

is there anyway to adjust the caster of my front axel?

I have 6 inch sky jacker up front and my springs seem to be tilted backwards abit as opposed to straight up and down. I have RA drop brackets as opposed to Extended RA's

You did get an alignment, right...

I know on my BII, that the caster isn't adjustable. However, I seem to recall from the repair manual that they later started allowing the use of that bushing on the upper ball joint to adjust caster as well as camber. Hopefully, I'll be going by the library later today, and I can check the wheel alignment section of the manual and verify that.

Moog (Federal-mogul) makes a replacment Radius Arm bushing that will adjust your caster up to 1 degree.

This works on all first Gen Explorers...

I looked in Motor when I went to the library, and it said that the caster as well as the camber are adjustable using the appropriate bushing in the appropriate configuration. According to them, you measure the caster and camber, determine how much adjustment you need, then buy and install the appropriate bushing.
