Alignment

Hello everyone so I went to get an alignment and the shop said they can't fix my caster? My tires are tearing up within the past 2 days!!! Any suggestions or ideas would be great!

caster that bad looks like something is broken.

I bet the problem is a bent tension rod or mounting point.

Have a look of both sides, what's different? Takes pictures if you want to.

Well I installed brand used upper and lower control arms yesterday and the drivers side upper control arm didn't line up evenly, I had to angle the screw to get it in.

They should have been able to tell you why they couldn't adjust the caster. By the way, I had to shave my passenger side upper control arm to get clear the strut tower.

Here's the passenger wheel it's perfect and a picture of the upper control arm of the drivers side, hard to tell but screw is angled down to the right.

I meant the left side sits higher then the right.

+1 on this. On the rack, they should have been able to give a thorough inspection to see what's going on.

Something is bent/broken for sure. Not sure what to say on those control arms. OEM?

Go to another shop, obviously there's a reason it can't be aligned.

the UCA looks ok, I think, the ball-joint should be forward. It really looks like the UCA is too far back.

Thanks everyone just received OEM UCAs and heading to a different shop.
