Alignment ( caster ) question

[TrdinOhio]

2016 Trd Pro
Love the truck but since new it wanders all over the road like I’m drunk. Constantly need small corrections to the steering wheel.
Currently has 9k miles, NO MODS.
I remember reading many people have experienced similar and I can’t remember but I thought adjusting the caster improved this for people BUT I can’t find anything about it by searching “alignment “ or “ caster “
I was hoping some kind souls could confirm or deny and maybe provide alignment specs if it’s not too much trouble. TY ahead of time

Hi TrdinOhio,

YES! Adding positive castor to the alignment angles will typically add that 'SNAP' to the steering wheel, causing it to center with less effort! If you haven't added a lift kit or changed the control arms, the alignment tech won't have any trouble bringing the truck to spec! 'Best to you',

Thx but I’m already in spec.
I’m familiar with alignment angles, I was asking if people deviate from factory specs...on factory suspension. I swear I read this somewhere.

Max it out(staying equal R to L) while maintaining 0.00 Camber, and keep Toe within factory spec.

The factory tires might add to some of the instability at higher speeds.

I had the dealer max the caster and it helped with what you are asking.

2016 Limited with TRD wheels and tires.

To answer your question. I asked the dealer to set my caster as. Lose to 4 degrees as possible. That helped.
