different caster setting
Hi Guys,
My car had a minor accident a few months back and I just got it a few days ago. I got an alignment and found out that my left caster is off from factory setting. here are the results: camber L: -0°59 (requested for this settings) camber R: -1°00 (requested for this settings) caster L: 3°52 caster R: 5°44 toe L: 0°00 toe R: 0°00 my questions are: 1. how will this caster setting affect the performance of the car? I have not tried going beyond 40mph as of the moment and for me the car feels normal at slow speed. 2. what can I do to correct this? btw, im using bc coilover with an inch drop thanks in advance!

From ways to adjust caster that i know - Whiteline LCA bushings KCA434 (+0.5dg caster) and raceseng cascam plates (don't know the range). But sill .. i'm thinking, that accident damage wasn't repaired completely, and some parts left bent. Imho difference of caster should be less then 1.1dg you have.
As for camber .. your BC coilovers don't have camber plates in set to even it out? |

Curious as to why you want asymmetrical front camber...
As for the caster, it looks like something wasn't fully repaired, was the car hit on the front left? How hard was the hit?
