not that i want to beat a dead horse when we don't even have any definitive
answers yet, but doesn't the above conclusion depend on which reasoning for
the lost caster is used?  there are two explanations so far: the angle of
the car relative to the ground causes lost caster; or it is the arc of the
trailing arms through their travel that causes it.  if it is the latter,
then you are correct.

if the car angle is the culprit, then the only way would be to change the
position of the suspension components in relation to the car, or shimming,
even when using dropped spindles.
