Good afternoon,
I went to get an wheel alignment on a 1990 toyota corolla.
I put the car on the alignment machine and the alignment tech said that the passenger front wheel is an eigth of a inch more behind than it should be. He said that in order to fix that a body shop can pull the control arm forward an eigth of an inch on with a tool called a portapower to get the caster back in factory spec
He said the camber and toe in are adjustable though the caster would have to be adjusted by a body shop. Why dont wheel alignment shops adjust the caster also?
Now i will contact the mechanic who i have gone to and ask about this?
Cheers
Jorge
