I took my car to get aligned the other day and it all went fine except for the caster. The passenger side was at 7, which is right on target I think. But the Left side was at 4.8 :frown: I just took everything apart to install bushings before the alignment and I didn't notice any frame damage. Any ideas? check again for frame damage?

Thanks guys

That much of a change, I would take it to a frame shop to see if the corner over there is square. Also, a bent up TC bracket could cause issues as could a bent TC rod.

TC rod looks straight, although the bracket does seem a little fouled. Its pretty weird, I just took apart the whole front suspension to install bushings and replace ball joints but I didn't notice any frame damage. Took the fenders and hood off as well to apply some bedliner to the wheel wells and everything bolted back on perfectly. I'll get under there and double check the frame I guess
