Are you calling the "right" side the passenger side?

In the pictures of the rear adjusters, which direction in the tire (toward the outside of the car)?

In all the pictures, is upwards in the picture also upwards on the car?


If I'm interpreting the directions correct, the left/driver side rear is pulled all the way inwards to for max neg camber and max positive caster. And the left/drivers side front is in the middle of the adjustment range.

So...if you move the front inward you get closer to 0 deg camber, but you loose caster. If you move the front outward you get more neg camber (worse), and you gain caster.

Caster is considered a "non tire wearing" adjustment (at extreme positive caster you can increase some wear). Camber is a tire wearing condition.

**Something is going on the drivers side** Does look rusty. Start investigating from there. Like the rear chassis A-arm mount in pushed outward or the front chassis A-arm mount is pushed inward.


Problem is...the right/passenger side is maxed out to is LEAST amount of caster. So if you change the left/drivers toward 0 deg camber and loose some caster, the end result will be more caster on right/pass side then left/drv side. They call the cross caster. Cars will pull slightly to the side with the greater positive caster.

Actually, my guess is the alignment tech spend extra time on this trying to juggle the right combo to put makeup on a monkey of a situation.


Do you have stock strut rods? Do you have Poly strut bushings?
