My insurance company has a maximum of 4 vehicles per policy.

So I have more than one policy.

Yep. I have three policies. You'd think there'd be a multiple policy discount for that? Oh hell no.

I wondered about weakness or cracking at the body end of the track bar.
Was this ever looked into? Loose track bar is a big cause of DW. Make sure the bolt holes aren't wallowed out allowing the hardware to move.

Yep. No shiny metal and holes are round and the same diameter as the bolts.

The track bar is the first thing I replaced.

I might have it sold. If this guy backs out I will try the rims next.

There is adjustment in the lower control arms where they mount to the body. They have a slide that they can move forward and aft in. They are normally all the way back from the factory and have plenty of room to add more caster in. After doing the caster swing the alignment tech can put shims in the arm adjuster to move the lower control arm forward. That will induce more positive caster into the axle. See picture below.

Still no bites on the for sale thing. If it doesn't sell I will follow your advice on the lower control arm system.

You would think with as many parts as I have put in this and the fact it runs great it would get bought, but what do I know?
