32 Phil,
What would optimum caster be on a car with some rake?

My AV8 has a dropped front axle, big and Little’s, and I set my caster at 7 degrees. I thought that was plenty, but I too get the death wobble when I hit the right rut in the road. It does not stop till I come to a dead stop. All parts being new, or rebuilt, I’m thinking the VW stabilizer is the way to go. In fact I bought one and just have not installed it yet. Do I need more caster?

Mrfliboy I like your mounting idea.
