Default New owner 2004 AP2

Just got my AP2 last week (97k km on it, bone stock) and loving it, been my dream car since my High School days. Glad to be part of the community.

Car drives like a dream, but then I over estimate my self and spin out last Friday (yes I am a dumbass for going fast in rain). Try to salvage the spun out but did so violently (car skid left and right), finally back to neutral and lucky I only come out with a scratch on my bumpers, wheels didn't hit the curb.

However after the spun out, car handles weird, tends to wobble in straight line + tail want to give out when ever I am turning left. Went to Kal Tire for an alignment, back to US stock spec, but they are not able to adjust the Left Caster (Think might be it seized to turn due to rust, currently at 5.38, preferred range at 6.00), right caster is within the preferred range.

Sorry to be asking so much question on my first post. But does Caster affects handling/stability that much? or does this sounds like a more serious problem? Would like to get it check out asap as this is my daily now T_T greatly appreciate if anyone could recommend a shop to me.

Hi Stryker, Congrats on your new car! Sorry to hear about your misshap though. There are a few shops that could probably help you out with this. Where abouts are you located? If you send me your phone number, I can add you to our whatsapp group.
