Hey guys,
I have been having some trouble with my caster. I hit a curb recently and all hell went loose. I fixed it but the caster on the right side is still off by 2 whole degrees. The wheel is pushed back still. I replaced the lower control arm and the radius rod but it still is hella off. Can you guys think of any other things that can be wrong? Thanks

 

anyone?

1) Proper sequence of washers, bushings, & nut on end of radius rod?
2) Bent mounting points where radius rod is attached?
3) Bent steering knuckle?
4) Bent upper control arm?
5) Bent shock tower where upper control arm is mounted?

 

Easiest way to find out what part is bent would be to take it to a body shop. Tell them what happend and they can put it on a frame rack. This will tell the tech who is working on the car exactly which part is bent.

 

thanks guys i will try that
