    Drivers Front Caster Issue

    So I had my car aligned after replacing the inner and out tie rods today, and it looks pretty good for he most part. The one thing that really stuck out was the left front caster is a whole degree more negative than the right front. What am I miss that could cause this? Car is mostly stock, but has stock offset Condor CAB’s with lollipops they supplied. Left front control arm looks never than the right front but not sure. What should I look for?

    Are the offset bushings both aligned the same way? The hole in the lolipop bushing should be closer to the mounting tab.

      Took some measurements today while the car was on stands. Bushings are oriented correctly, drivers wheel is about 1/4” further back than passenger. Measured subframe and found the drivers side about a 1/4” back when measured from radiator support.
      Can the subframe be loosened and moved like in Audi’s? Or is it fixed by dowels?

        The subframe is fixed and should not move.

          But I'd bet there is enough play in the bolt holes that you might be able to even this out....assuming nothing is bent
