Alignment question...

Have any of you had any problem getting the caster to within spec. I have a 93 SE and the caster is just out of spec and the car is very unstable at highway speeds. I know there is no factory adjustment, but does anyone offer any caster plates/kits at all. Thanks....

Nobody offers anything to adjust caster, no... yours shouldn't be out of spec, but if it is, I would suspect some frame damage somewhere in the history of the car. I would also check out all your suspension bushings, ball joints, etc to make sure they'll all in decent shape. you shouldn't need to adjust caster beyond making sure all the factory parts are in decent shape and straight.

I'll second that. Check the bushings in particular. Also look for bent control arms. A broken strut or strut mount can throw it out too.
