Default CRX caster issue? radius rod?

After recently aligning a new pair of fenders I noticed that the drivers front wheel seemed to be positioned too far to the rear of the wheel well. After measuring the wheel centers from front to rear on both sides, I got 90.5" on the passenger side and 89.5" on the driver side... so it is definitely pushed back. (I measured my other CRX just for fun, and both sides on that were were also 90.5")

My first thought was that there might be structural damage, but I had it checked and there is none. Could this be a radius rod issue? If so, does anyone know if there is an aftermarket one out there that is adjustable? That front wheel needs to be pulled forward about an inch somehow.

I'm referring to #5

Measure the length of each rod to see if there is a difference. There is some adjustability in the OE part. If they are different lengths, maybe the bushing fell apart.
I think the lower control arm bushinging would should signs of binding if the radius arm was off the much.
