I had my alignment done and the guy said that he couldn't get the caster to specs he said to take my car to a wheel+frame shop, anyone know what this could have happen and whats wrong?

I had my alignment shop tell that they couldn't get my camber to -1.5. I am beginning to think that these people are clueless or that our cars are difficult to align.

thanks for your input, hopefully it was a technical error on their part.

Camber plays a big role in caster. The more negative camber you have, the more caster you can get. In other words... dump it.

I was able to get 5.5
