Default negative caster problem

My 96 integras front passenger side wheel is set back a little and I was wondering how to correct this. I read somewhere that switching around the a-arms would fix this, but my a arms look identical.

Are there any good caster kits out there, if any?

If something is bent, would it be the lca or front subframe?

Replies will be greatly appreciated.

Could be a number of things:

Upper control arm bent forwards
Lower control arm bent backwards
Subframe shifted

I highly recommend against something like a kit or swapping control arms as a "band-aid" fix. You need to find the problem and replace the damaged parts.

I don't know what might be causing the side to side difference in caster, but if you swap the upper wishbones side to side you will increase caster, but you'll still have unequal caster...
