Thanks for the tip, I will definitely explore this  |
Ahh yes, the kingpin/SAI angle(both are same thing)!
To quote your original post:
"
When I am backing up, the steering wheel wants
to center itself. Which is sort of like my caster is
completely backwards."
This points definitely to something wonky with that SAI.
Left-to-Right SAI unequal by more than 1 degree won't cause a pull going forward, but could cause a pull - or swinging steering wheel - in reverse.
Get that thing to a reputable aligner at your earliest convenience, and have them print a full detailed list of every spec/angle. Then, post a photo of that printout here. Objective, holistic information will help us help you!
It's not just the modifications to that car that's affecting your steering behavior... something might be
bent.
