Too much Caster?
I recently installed the VB and P performance plus suspension and the car was just aligned at a local shop. they said they couldn't do much with the caster on the car. I searched on this item and got some good information but still dont understand. My left front is at 5.15 caster and my right front is at 3.90 caster. Will this cause any harm and what would any issues be for me in the future? The rest of the alignment is dead on so this is my only issue.
Thanks!

The car will go to the right or left. (always forget which way). Take it back to the alignmetn shop and have them make it equal side to side. Then adjust the camber and toe. Check out the following link for alignment numbers from VB. Get as much caster as possible and equal side to side.

All alignment values should be equal in street use. Toe, camber caster front. Toe, camber, tracking, rear. It takes a lot more time to do a precise alignment than the alignment shops allot the technician to do it. I ended up buying my own alignment equipment after spending too much money at too many shops just to still have it wrong. I believe your car will pull to the right with those caster settings.
