Negative caster!

[seriouscoin1]

Hey guys. I searched and could not find this exact answer. I put on a 3inch cornfed spacer lift without new UCA's. I got an alignment at firestone and it came back everything in green as far as numbers go. So I thought I would not need the UCA's... Then I noticed the steering wheel shakes at about 60mph. I took it to another place for alignment and the caster is -2.3. Would the caster cause this issue? Will the UCA's potentially fix it?

Huh... Are you sure everything is tight and such? -2.3 Caster is pretty hard to do unless you bent something or left something loose. Were they both -2.3 caster or just one side?

Oh man that's embarrassing it's 2.1 and 2.3... I believe the mark was from their pen. Oops.

Yea, hard to go negative...

The wheel shaking is most likely not the alignment. More likely tire balance or out of round... Low caster can exaggerate it a bit, but it's not the cause.
