the upper bearing of the knuckle should be pointed slightly back, looks like those long shackles that you have on there would tilt the axle in the wrong direction, Toyota's have the shackle in the rear, you could try to shim the axle back down where it needs to be, that should fix your problem

Stock solid axle steering/alignment specs:

Best option is to get the caster angle checked at a local alignment shop (see if you can get a good deal on a check-only), then get some shims made to correct the angle back into the factory range:

I find about 1 degree more caster than the factory setting works well, gives a more stable setup, less prone to death wobble with taller/wider tires.
