Positive Caster On One Side

[steveoelliott]

Well… After my springs, lower and top arms and ARB bushes have been replaced, my alignment data all looks good J However, one thing does concern me slightly and that is the Caster angles:

Actual Before Specified Range Actual Before Specified Range
6.03 6.03 4.47 – 5.47 4.10 4.10 4.47 – 5.47

Have you seen anything like this before? My car does have the Camber / Caster bolts and I did ask the wheel alignment place to check these.

If they are currently 4.47 - 5.47 then they haven't been re-fitted correctly and it may pull left.

Hi,

I'm actually coming to you on Thursday at 16:00 for the wheel alignment

What makes you say they haven't been fitted correctly. 4.47 - 5.47 is within spec?

Both my values are outside of this, the N/S being way too much positive caster and the O/S being slightly too negative.

Thanks...

Current positions are desirable for a UK Merc.....within reason?

OK... Let's discuss further on Thursday when I come in to you.
