Any alignment techs? Something bent or just bushing?

Alignment sheet attached. Everything is in spec except the right caster, slightly out of spec ... looks like something maybe bent? Lower control arm or just the bushing needs replacing???

No, you're fine. Caster isn't really an issue nor is it adjustable.

Yeah, it's just slightly off but something needs to be replace to get in back in spec. Anyone?

is it tracking straight?
caster is the angle of the steering axis according to the centerline of the wheel.
its normal for the right side to have a little less caster than the left side.
if its tracking straight, I wouldnt worry about the caster being .1 degree off.


caster will not ruin tires.
only toe will eat tires.
and your toe is set correctly.

It's straight after the alignment but I noticed the setting don't tend to hold very long, maybe a couple of months at the most after a alignment. It's going in to the shop this weekend to get new front control arm bushings. I'm guess I'm going to leave it alone since it's probably not worth fixing.
