Default Pulling to left- Caster is off.. adjustment?

I swapped my suspension over recently, and now my caster is off. A local alignment shop [performance alignment] aligned it, and said that the caster was off; and there was no adjustment for this on my car (97ex).. is this true? I just got brand new tires, as well. I'm almost positive that the caster is what is making me pull.. but how do I fix it? They said something about adjusting the subframe. I don't know what to do.. help!

Hey there,

The alignment shop is right, there is no caster adjustment on civics. Just out of curiosity, have you checked your bushings?

Though not technically an adjustment, you can swap the L/R UCA's which will change caster.

But yeah - how are your bushings? Were you ever in an accident (curbed the car)?

No.. but the car that I got the UCAs from was. They didn't look bent or anything, though. What bushings are you talking about? I'm taking it back there and having them raise it up more so it doesn't rub, and hopefully they can get the rear toe right.
