Default caster question

i put my car on the rack today at honda, and this is what i got-


what would cause the caster to be 0.5 off on the right side? i know the front right camber is just caused by the tools i had in the pass. floorboard, but that shouldn't affect the caster... think i should try spacers on the radius arm bushings to see if i can even it out?

btw- my setup is an 89 crx dx, integra front hubs and uca's with crx lca's, integra rear trailing arms with crx uca's, integra lca's, and crx compensator arms, dropzone springs on kyb gr2's, suspension techniques 7/8" rear sway, and an hf front sway if that helps at all.

(oh yea dont rag me about how i didn't get it that close on the rear toe, i've got da trailing arms and the bushings are shot, i have energy suspension ones but i'm not looking forward to pressing that pos out lol, when i put them in then i'll worry about getting it closer it tends to go back and forth a little with those stupid bushings in it now)

old bushings and a chassis thats been beat for the last 20 years, .5 difference in caster is pretty good! dont worry about it, its not excessive.

things look fine, except i would not settle for so much toe in at the rear.

btw, you should be using CRX upper control arms, not integra, even with the integra knuckles.
