You should try some other upper arms then. The "built-in" caster in aftermarket upper A-arms differ between the makers.

On my Camaro I have 8° Caster, a little more than ideal but we couldn't get less due to my Guldstrand mod and the SpeedTech A-arms. It drives really good with it, steady as on rails, but when turning the tires are really close to the inner fenders but they don't hit.

Some A-arms have as much as 5° built in Caster-increase.
