Thanks everyone for their replies - that means I can take my car back and tell them to refund my money because you can't adjust castor! I got charged about #30 for it...

It could have been a simple mistake... the girl who charged me had talked to the adjuster guy and he'd said what he'd done to her...

The lower a-arms use shims to adjust the chamber.
caster is effected if you don't stack equal number
of shims behind both a-arm frame mount pivot assemblies. 'technically' you really can't adjust caster more than 1-3 degrees. You'll stress the lower trunnion pivots and the upright where it
enters the lower trunnion.


The 'shim' (if any was installed on your frame) under the tower's frame top single bolt mount point, I believe
is only there to adjust to vertical tower position
across the with of the car and perhaps set motor mount
width across the width of the car/frame. The 'side of the frame' tower mount bolts (4 each side of the car) do not
really allow for adjustment. So the shim is there more or
less as 'filler' or 'factory error' during assembly.


(...sound about right J.K.?)
