Re: Caster?
So does the traction bar replace the other parts that were mentioned (radius arm and lower arm)
The pull to the left isn't that bad to be honest and no tyre wear in the past year, so not something I have to get done right no. But would be good to have an idea what would be needed if it starts to get worse or a wheel falls off!

Cross-caster is very annoying and your diagnosis is correct.
Ought to be 2°40' IIRC from my BB8 4WS.

There is a caster adjuster washer (14) and you may be able to lose that to the other end and get the caster out a bit more.
Or it's get a man with some oxy-acetylene to increase the kinks in the radius rod (8) if you cannot get it near enough.
Remember you will need a re-alignment afterwards.
