When my car was aligned on Monday, RF caster was 5.6 and the specs called for 5.8-7.3. I aligned it with my existing tension rode which are not leaking. The alignment shop noticed that the frame appears bent below rear passengers door. This is where the previous owner jacked the car up in the wrong spot or it fell off the jack.

My questions are:

1> Caster appears very close, will new tension rods fix it?

2> For some reason my tension rods are from an active Q, the bushing are different, are the dimensions of the active and non active tension rods the same?

3> The alignment suggested adjustable tension rods. Do I want adjustable tension rods without rubber bushings? I'm not racing the car as of yet.

I wouldn't worry about a cross variation of 0.2 degrees in caster or camber.
