Front end alignment
I had my car in the shop to get the front end aligned but the told that they can not do anything to my caster which was far from right measures on passengers side. So tell me is it really impossible or how that job should be done. Please tell it clearly step by step because my car is now good only for oval races.
Damn those shops here, they only deal with japanese and european cars so when man has a real machine he can not get service!

If they know the caster is adjustable and you don't have enough adjustment, you can pull the strut mount off and make the slots a little longer if necessary. But you really shouldn't have to do this. There is plenty of caster adjustment built in from the factory.
