Yeah thats right. Its my understanding that on a 2" suspension lift castor correction bushes will correct the castor angle back to normal. Must be something else

i had a nut missing on the drivers side rear radius arm! every arm bolt i had to tighten up all the way around, everyone went around one more turn.
front and rear panhard rods nuts joining it to the axel were lose, i cant believe it was all lose like that panhards i could move the bolt with my hands
i had a spring on the rear not seated properly
i wander if they had tightened everything up before and the poly bushes have warn a little maybe need tighten again after a while!? i dunno. or maybe they never cranked it up tight, hopfully now it will be a nice drive if not its something else
thats what you get for buying the stuff already on it, iv never really checked under the jimny, the bushes look new tho

It might be worth undoing the bolts on the axle shaft to see if the holes are not worn into an oval.
