alignment question
alignment question
Hey quick question
so I have the variant 3s... and I figured out that one of the techs had set my right front strut to full still while the left one was at 2 turns.
I did a check and my castor was 1/2 degree off on that wheel only. Any way this was a cause and effect? I'm kinda of thinking they're not... but I'm not a suspension guy... but my alignment was done 11 months ago... and i don't see how it could be off already...
i mean mainly I'm a little frustrated with my tech... so I want to come back to them about this but I need to have some ammunition...

yeah this is the castor. the reason why I ask is because it was out relative to to the other one... which was adjusted to the same degree.
i guess now that i look at it. the adjustment was done to like the very edge of the 3.9-5.4 degree oem spec...
Caster is not adjustable, unless you have aftermarket arms. Like (SPC).
If the right wheel is 1/2 more positive caster, ot's actually a good thing. Makes up for road crown.
