Caster Issue Alignment
I've been trying to perfect the alignment on my car..
This is on a 1995 Eg hatch civic
Car Has ALL new Hardrace bushings..
My RF caster is off though, need help diagnosing what could be the source.
about two months ago RF caster was a -0.3 degrees.
Here s alignment reports
FRONT
CAMBER
L -1.0 R -1.0
CASTER
L +0.7 R -0.3
TOE
L 0.02 R 0.03
REAR
CAMBER
L -1.0 R -1.0
TOE
L 0.05 R 0.06
I went ahead and replaced the UCA with hardrace setup, i could see a light bent on the pass old Skunk2 UCA i had.. I thought this would solve my issue..
Aligned it today
FRONT
CAMBER
L -1.1 R -1.1
CASTER
L +1.4 R +0.4
TOE
L 0.02 R 0.03
REAR
CAMBER
L -1.0 R -1.0
TOE
L 0.05 R 0.06
Could it be possible that the knuckle is bent giving off that caster issue??
Any input on what to check next..
I did some measuring on the LCA to check symmetry and using jack points/ tow hooks as references.. Left and right LCA had equal distance between reference points..
Any input..

Spec EG Caster - Measurement in degrees.
o 1.17 (range 0.17 to 2.17)
o 1.17 (range 0.17 to 2.17)
I had due to a straight-on hit on a pavemant a bent subframe with all other parts remaining straight.
In my experience only way to check is to replace parts with parts you are sure are straight and the check alignment.
Is this a Ford F-150? You need to read the forum rules and post ALL relevant information. Failure to do so will cause your thread to fail.
