The man wants MORE caster. How about this idea?

Oh, I have the money. It is not about that in the least.
I started with a junkyard mindset and it stuck with me. I worked construction for years and was a damned good framer. I was the guy that didn't mind using up the scraps, the imperfect wood, the leftovers. It was a challenge to make it work but I know I saved my employers a bunch of money.
I worked as if the lumber actually was limited. This is not a bad quality to have.
With cars, I love to find ways to improve things without defaulting to buying something new. I've modified sway bars to fit cars that they weren't designed for. The Dart has a front bar from a 73-87 Chevy C30 truck. The rear bar is from an 82-92 Z28. The rear bar on my 2007 Dodge truck is from a Chevy Suburban.
It is fun for me.

oh, i feel ya. i'm very much on the same page.

to me, when something critical like a suspension component is available and fits my needs it's worth the dosh to just press the easy button.

don't get me wrong, i still like the thrill of making something work on the cheap or the challenge or working within constraints. and with something like a modded out swaybar, that's super low stakes: cheap buy in, not a ton of labor, and if it gives up the ghost you're not gonna wind up in a ditch. so i'm totally down to clown in that type of arena.

but on something like a control arm, i'm gonna pass. juice ain't worth the squeeze. and the risk is too great of me suddenly becoming two racoons in a trench coat, rather than three-- and honestly, that would just look odd.
