Before doing that I checked to see if its actually possible to adjust Caster Angle on my car.

Its not, not without heavy modification to the strut mount, it is a front wheel drive vehicle as a result the strut assembly is what you would need to move inorder to adjust the positive caster angle that I have back to 1/2 of a degree.

Wheel Alignment Explained



Quote:
Like camber, on many front-wheel-drive vehicles, caster is not adjustable. If the caster is out of adjustment on these vehicles, it indicates that something is possibly bent from an accident, and must be repaired or replaced.
Next idea?

I was thinking of installing a spacer in underneath the strut support mounts but I'm not entirely sure how that will affect everything else.

Either that or hit a few pot holes really hard.

I might be able to adjust caster by moving the strut mount around a bit, maybe even nibbling out a bit of the metalwork so I can get it to push the strut mounting bolts more forward, but it is really risky.

UNLESS there is something I am missing..
