improve steering and handling
what are the things i should work on to improve the steering in my 1992 cherokee? i've replaced the following items so far but it still seems to wander a bit and it seems to be slow to respond to steering input to keep it traveling straight. all with new parts: replaced ball joints, hub assemblies, steering box, short tie rod end close to steering box, added 2" lift kit, spacers in front and add-a-leaf in rear. tires are new michelens 235/75's, toe in is set correctly.

1/8" toe in front. caster has not been adjusted but reading on this site it looks like 1/8" shim would be a good one to throw in it. trying to keep it low budget.

The caster affects return to center strength. Not enough and the front wheels/tires will act like those on a busted shopping cart. You know the ones that wobble side to side when you try and puch it forward?
