Adjustable tension control rods.

I would recommend staying away from ebay ones and just spending a little more and getting quality ones (i.e. teins to match the one you have now, or spl, kazama, etc).

That's what you are asking for right? I'm kind of confused by your wording.

camber is angle of the wheel up and downtoe is the angle of the wheel in and outcaster is the angle of the wheel side to side

since the car when I bought it the caster is off and stock is not ajustable

would tension correct the problem?

I have the same problem. Here is a picture of my alignment printout if it will help you out. As you can see my right is off by ".6". And yes tension rods will fix this problem, I will be ordering some SPL V2 tension rods which seem to be the cheapest I have seen at $169. Still deciding on which color to get though... LOL



BTW if you had searched you would have found my same topic thread I posted 2 weeks ago. zerothread?id=147747

I really wouldn't worry about your caster problem. Your car is still in spec, and right and left are close. Honestly, even after getting adjustable arms, and getting them set equally, you will never be able to tell the difference.
