Default Caster Settings? - Search Down

I'm going in for an alignment on Tuesday to make sure everything is where I want them to be. What are the factory specs for caster?

"the camber specs for the 94 and up Integras, including type R's is 1.17 degrees"

From the factory, mine was near zero on one side, and negative on the other. *shrug*
Can you adjust caster, with any ease?

You really cannot adjust caster. I jsut want to know what is considered 'normal' or factory spec so when I get the alignment I can see if there is a problem.

Jonathan, the alignment machine should have the specifications on the computer. If not, you want to make sure the caster split is ZERO. What I mean by split is the difference between each side.

For instance, left 3.6 deg and right is 2.1 deg, the split is 1.5 deg which is WAY too much, the split should be under 0.9 of a deg at most.

depending how easily you can swap the L&R UCAs, which will add (positive) caster. you can also run an aftermarket X-member with radius arms / 'traction bars', which typically work by adding caster (though this option is likely precluded by rules of some racing classes).
