yea mines pretty low and the camber is maxxed at -2 and it won't go to 6 castor I think it maxxes out around 5.5 so I'd say thats the side with the issue

Why dont you do a side by side comparison with a ruler, or tape measure, or even some string.

^yea, you could just adjust the caster to be 4.5, but the problem would still be there.

I am at 7.0 caster with -1.5 camber, 0 toe and -2.5 in the rear with .08 toe in the rear. With my staggered setup and a front sway bar, the car is close to neutral.

I have a similar issue, Any update? Mine goes a little further though. After about 2 days after an alignment my steering wheel has to be corked to the right a bit for the car to go straight. Was great for 2 days then all of a sudden its off. Messed up toes links? And steering wheel has a weird movement at highway speeds(kinda of back and forth little by little). My wheels are balanced and good(first thing checked).
