Default Caster

I recentely crashed my car into a mound of dirt because of slippery road conditions. It wasn't bad at all. It threw my alignment off but no physical damage at all. So I had ordered a camber kit already and was going to install it before this happened. Luckily I waited... So before taking my car to the shop for the alignment I installed the camber kit. Smooth... Take her in for the alignment... The camber is perfect... The toe is perfect... But the caster is only able to get within 1 degree of perfect. They said it could be the bushings for the lower control arms, either side, or something else even. Anyone got a good idea of what part it could be? I just replaced all the bushings in the front end like 6 months before this happened. I really don't want do it again...

You can add a washer between the radius rod bushing and subframe to get a little caster adjustment. You can also adjust the front crossmember a little by loosening the bolts and moving its play with a pry bar. Take a look at the front radius rod bushings first.

or if you upgrade to a tracion bar setup you can adjust caster that way.
