caster

any of you know if caster is adjustable on our cars... or is a part of camber. i hit a curb awhile ago (and ill be buying a lowercontrol arm prolly this spring from intermaur (i suck at spelling)). when i hit the curb it threw my caster off about 1/2 degree and its enough to give me a wandering feeling in my wheel and its REALLY starting to bug me (and now i know how to fix it!!)

TIA
Steve

It can be adjusted, pretty sure you need special bolts though

you can NOT adjust caster on our cars. you can adjust camber, but that's it. I really wish we could adjust caster though.. would make my tire wear problems on the track a lot less significant.

are you too positive or something??? cuz caster only wears due to camber role which happens when your caster is too positive

If you hit something and your caster is off, replace the part that's bent. ie.. control arm

have you looked under your car yet? If not, go take a look, then come back here and tell me how you can adjust caster.
