I'm looking at this jeep that has Scout 44s f/r, I'm awhere of the problems with this, with the caster being all jacked up and the knuckles being hard to align, but I've driven this jeep and it tracks fine down the road, no wobble, takes turns and straightens out like the alignment is dead on. Is it possible they could have swapped on knuckles from something else, and if so is there a way to tell? Give me any opinions/info you can. Thanks

No way to tell if they swapped knuckles unless they swapped to something with a different hub. (internal locking) My jeep has a 44 front with 2.5 degrees of caster, when I changed it to 4.5 it went wacko on me and I had to go back to 2.5. In other words, if it isn't broke don't try to fix it.

First you don't swap the knuckles you twist them on a Scout. I guess you could but why? Second the caster is not all jacked, there just was not any from the factory (80 being the exception). Just bad info from some Ahole that runs 10 inch extended shackles, that now has -10 caster and wonders why his rig is all over the road. If the rig rides nice and the front-end work looks professional (SOA) then buy it.

Yea, the work looks professional, I actually know the shop who did the work, and I was thinking about asking them about it, but haven't yet. They have a very good reputation for their work. Thanks for the help.

fixing the lack of caster on a scout d44 isn't that big of a deal. all you need is a grinder, welder, angle finder and a bfh. that is it. completely disassemble the front, frind the weld out that holds the knuckle to the tube, anf rotate it back(add caster) to desired angle. i have used 8 degrees and had very good results. jeep's that i have done this to track straight and no steering stabilizer needed. :D

What degree of caster did the stock dana 30 have that came in the front of a 79 CJ?
