cdelena: seems logical, but what didn't make sense was the fact that he got the right caster squarely into spec when the camber in both front wheels was 1.5 on the nose... go figure!?!!

With the steering rack on the left side, there's more room on the right side to adjust; vice-versa for RHD cars.

I just did a 4 wheel alignment today at Honda Dealer using P611 Hunter Machine.
It has a PC interface with window based program.

Here is the translated settings:

Front Caster 6
