    Just got my alignment serviced at toyota (15k miles). Vehicle pulls to the right now and steering wheel is always tilted to the right on its own instead of staying straight.

    I also asked to have steering wheel feel firmer which can be done by adding more caster to my knowledge.

    Alignment print out i received is below, should caster be 2.8 on both sides, lmk what you think and what needs to be done to correct?

    TIA

    Generally the caster should be +/- .5 degrees higher on the right than on the left to compensate for road crown. I don't think you'd have the pull if your caster numbers were reversed, 2.8 rt, 2.5 left.

    Ok good to know….Now If i’m looking to have a firmer steering is it ok to ask to bump up to 3.0 or 3.5?

    Heck yeah. I think the steering wheel re-centers better and the truck is more inclined to drive in a straight line with more caster. The target #s for folks lifted and with TC, MCM UCAs is in the 4-5* range.
