There is no adjustment to them, its all about how they are pressed in. We have used the laser marked lines for the axis, which works pretty dang good to make them lined up. The thing is, if they are off a tiny bit its not going to effect caster that much. With our kit fully maxed out, it is adding .5-.7 degrees of caster on the car, making for roughly 5.5 5.7 total degrees. I have NEVER seen caster from left to right be off more than .1 degrees, so that shouldn't be to big of a deal.

Around here in Oregon and most places with roads that are ok, most people say, I feel a huge difference in the steering feel, and not much change to normal noise like on the freeway. But if you live in a place where the roads are terrible, chip-seal type road, or you live off a gravel road, then they may not be the best part for you. For customers like that, we actually say leave the OEM part in place and just replace them every 5 years before this happens......
