Caster adjustment?
The drivers side front wheel on my 92 lude sits further towards the rear of the car, in other words if you look at my car from the side there is more space infront of the wheel than behind the wheel. I am putting neuspeed springs on soon but I think that in its current state lowering the car would make the tire rub the inner fender well. So my question is: Is there a caster adjustment on my car that will allow the wheel to be centered in the wheel well, or is it likely that there is something bent under there? I can post pics. if this will help. Thanks, sorry for the long post...

Re: Caster adjustment? (bad-monkey)
if you havent messed with anything under ur car lately then maybe something is bent.
there is a tension bar or whatever you call it that goes from the front crossmember to the control arm on each side. When i dropped the tranny in my car i had to take it out and when the time came to put it back in i had did it wrong and the wheel was like 3 inches towards the front too much. I dont know if you can adjust it but maybe its loose or something is bent because that bar is what keeps the wheel in place.
Thats the only thing that i can think of. Take a look under ur car and see whats goin on.
thats just my .02
lets see what other people think

Re: Caster adjustment? (Greyout)
bushings are meant to be snug. dunno if you want to go trimming some off. They arent easy to get out and reinstall without a press and torch. I wish it were easier but its not.
