Default Series 2 bottom Wishbones
Hi Outwest34au,

While you have the front end out it would be worth your while to check that you have Series 2 bottom wishbones. They give you more + caster as they are moved slightly forward at the balljoint (~10mm) than series 1. ie there is a left and right side. (Beware dont put them on the wrong side)

I had series 1 originally on my car and they are straight at the ball joint ie are at 90° to the mounting. I had 0° caster. For about $50 for a set of series 2 at the Jaguar wrecker totally transformed my RMC that had bump steer issues. (ended up at 3° + caster after an alignment). Make sure you take enough off each side as adjusting Caster and Camber takes a bit of movement with shims.

Cheers

TC
