Caster adjustment?
I just got a 4-wheel alignment, and everything is set up:
Front Camber: L: -.6 deg R: -.7 deg
Front Toe: 0
Rear Camber: L: -.7 deg R: -.6 deg
Rear Toe: .1 deg toe in
The problem is with my caster. The spec from Honda is 2 degrees. Mine came out like this:
Left: 2 degress, Right: 1.44 degrees
They didn't adjust this at all. Is there a way I can get this set up right, or does this indicate I have a problem?

Re: Caster adjustment? (djphonics)
the only way to adjust the caster is with an aftermarket crossmember (adjust the radius rods in & out).
your numbers don't seem significantly off. if you're worried about it, and can't get an x-member, the only help possible MIGHT be new radius rod & LCA bushings. it seems that would push the wheels ---> back in the wheel well slightly. even then, i'm not sure whether a positive caster reading means the wheels are too far forward or too far back....
