Re: Alignment Specs
There is actually caster adjustment on solid axles. It is sometimes done by
way of wedge type shims on the spring perch with leaf springs or an offset
cam on the contol arm where coils are used. Lift kit is quite likely to
throw caster out and caster is essential for good handling.

But there is no caster angle adjustment on the XJ axle being discussed.
Besides, it's a coil spring, not a leaf spring.
