1998 was the last year with the adjustable caster. Jerry is correct in
stating that 1/8" toe-in and centering the steering is all that most
people should need. Even with my lifted TJ, I have always done the
alignment myself. It takes minutes and I haven't had any issues with
handling or abnormal tire wear.

I asked because my Dueller AT Revoes are becoming scalloped and
wearing uneven. They are getting progressively noiser and front end
alignment was the only thing I haven't checked. I've not jumped any
curbs but I bought the TJ used. Is their anything else that could
cause that problem with a tire that I've missed?

the tires need to be rotated every 3K miles front to back not side to side
