Default MWC K-Member Moved Wheels Forward

Just curious if anyone has ran into this. I installed a MWC k member 6-7 years ago and noticed then it moved my wheels forward. I ended up having MWC modify my steering shaft because it would barely slip on. The off center look of the wheels bothers me more these days. Anybody have good luck with other brand K Members that don’t move the wheels, or any potential remedy to bring it back the half inch it would need to have the wheels centered? I purchased the car from the original owner, never wrecked, always stored inside, and had SFC’s installed in the first 1k miles of the cars life, so I know the car is about as straight as it can be.

See post 28, mine was more towards the rear although I’m sure the 28.5s didn’t help. Still think it’s too far back, possibly caster built in, never asked them about it.

I was wondering about the caster too, and if possibly adjustable LCA’s could bring it back some. I’m still running stock upper and lower control arms

Might be worth giving them a call and asking.
